Story

Harriet lived to an estimated 175 years and became one of the best-known Galapagos tortoises in captivity.

The archive records the Darwin-linked tradition cautiously because parts of that history are disputed.

Harriet is archived because her life connects longevity, captivity, conservation memory and uncertain historical evidence.
