Get Involved
Help us expand the database! The collection is a long way from being completely documented and could use your help! We have many more specimens in storage, most of which are used for teaching, and they also are in need of digitizing.
Examples of possible volunteer projects:
-
Data Entry: transcribing data from physical records into the database
-
Photography: taking photos of the specimen
-
Cleaning: cleaning the specimens and their cases
-
Documenting: researching missing information and adding ID numbers for specimens
-
Labels: make and print labels and add tags on the specimens
-
Accessibility: Add the specimen to IEDA SESAR database for international scientific visibility
