[Nhcoll-l] Natural History Collections Imaging Survey - Report published

[Elspeth Haston]

Dear all

We wanted to let you know that the results of an international survey on imaging practices for the digitisation of natural history specimens have now been published in a report available on Zenodo.

Marcer, A, Santos, J, Mast, AR, Nelson, G, Ellwood, L & Haston, E. (2023). Natural History Collections Imaging Survey Report. Current imaging practices across institutions worldwide. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7837354

The survey was designed and constructed jointly by members of the EU-funded COST Action, MOBILISE, and the
US-funded iDigBio programme, and distributed globally to gather information from as many institutions and individuals as possible. There were a total of 702 respondents covering all the main preparation types.

The aim of this survey was to find out how the existing guidelines and recommendations for imaging natural history collections have been adopted and used by the community and what are the obstacles that hinder their use. The survey covered all types of curated natural history specimens held in institutions holding natural history collections across the world.

We would like to thanks all those individuals who took the time to respond to the survey.

Best regards

Elspeth
