Making biodiversity data accessible is imperative for conservation and education. This project, Snail Scribe Archive, will make these valuable records available to students, teachers, and researchers around the world.
skeogh17عن مشروع Snail Scribe Archive
The Invertebrate Zoology Collection at the Field Museum (Chicago, IL) contains around 5 million specimens, each with a unique ecological story to tell. Unfortunately, roughly one million specimens and the metadata they represent (the specimen's who, what, when, and where) remain inaccessible to the public and scientists around the world. Making the collection digitally available to everyone is a primary goal of the Invertebrate Zoology Collection Team. With the help of citizen scientists (like you) we can advance the knowledge of understudied mollusks by making these biodiversity records available through our online database. With Snail Scribe Archive, our goal is to transcribe the remaining ~75,000 lots in the collection from our original, handwritten ledgers. These data will then be hosted on the Field Museum's website and shared with the general public through biodiversity aggregators (GBIF, InvertEBase, etc.).
