The Encyclopedia of Life aims to digitize and make available all information on every species known to exist! There are about 1.8 million living species known to science. This might be a huge endeavor but it has already taken off with a good start since it went online on February 2008. You should check out Encyclopedia of Life for details.
In addition, the Encyclopedia will incorporate the Biodiversity Heritage Library, which will contain the digitized print collections from the world's major natural history libraries. The project is initially backed by a US$50 million funding commitment, led by the MacArthur Foundation and the Sloan Foundation.
