Hi David,
I'm not ... a BHL expert, I did a quick look-see on their website and
trust other BHL-affiliated folks will jump in (cc'd). I know BHL focuses
on materials that are free from copyright restrictions, but also note
they actively work to provide access to open access materials,
in-copyright materials for which they have permission to do so, and
through requests. See this quoted text:
> In addition to content contributed from BHL consortium libraries, the
> collection is supplemented by:
>
> * Open access biodiversity relevant materials, already in digital
> form, as made available by other digital library projects and
> scanning partners, such as the Internet Archive <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cbaf7861380fe4426b6c308dad16199e4%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638052514390332718%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=20ha6wwr%2BA%2BQIcOTWddVWH3HS4ZsC%2FbHygPUcznVmS0%3D&reserved=0>.

Hope that helps? The above also references a BHL Strategic Plan (2020 -
2025) which you can access here:
