The Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG), otherwise known as the International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases, is a scientific association working to "establish collaboration among biological database projects so as to promote the wider and more effective dissemination of information about the World's heritage of biological organisms for the benefit of the world at large." Hosted by the Natural History Museum in London, the TDWG website contains a copy of the group's Constitution, new membership forms, contact information for current officers, TDWG email lists, and a list of TDWG Standards. The Archives section contains downloadable minutes from the first and second TDWG meetings (held in 1985 and 1986) as well as links to more recent annual meeting notes and newsletters. The site also links to information about the Group's upcoming meeting in New Zealand.
