HMAP Dataset 04: World Whaling

With regard to the HMAP Data Pages, the World Whaling searchable facility comprises individual whale data. This database was created from datafiles created by the International Whaling Commission, in Cambridge England, based on original coding by the Bureau of International Whaling Statistics, now defunct, but previously located in the KommandÉr Chr. Christensens Hvalfangstmuseum in Sandefjord, Norway, which holds the data from the BIWS. Another major source of data for the period 1913-1950 is S.F.Harmer's records held at the Natural History Museum in London.
