The first of these is the online Embryology website () that links the human developmental timeline to historic and current research findings. This paper describes two online resources for studying human development that are unlocking these invaluable collections and providing related human developmental resources. When accessed today, these collections are still contributing to our understanding of human development. While animal models of development now have significant online resources available, the vast majority of human embryonic material is locked up in historic collections.
Human embryology is a core subject for medicine and current research.
