<div dir="ltr">Hi Erica - I don't know anything about those specific observations, but this type of transcription is something that we're very interested in for our own archival collections. We've been collaborating with Ben Brumfield who developed From the Page (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__beta.fromthepage.com&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=RjjxpHvpORpzxt1gKhvM1j1cVLCNO7pN9s4rv6mBe_g&s=Fs1MBQbbGq5eUDd5VjZZ2yITVE8ozvXPbEdsVTMEZ_Y&e=">http://beta.fromthepage.com</a>). Our eventual goal is to capture the bird observations in our field notes (especially historic ones) and export those in a format that can be ingested into Arctos as bird observations. We'd be happy to talk more with you about that if you're interested.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Carla</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 12:43 PM, Erica Krimmel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ekrimmel@naturemuseum.org" target="_blank">ekrimmel@naturemuseum.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The USDA had a Division of Ornithology and Mammalogy in the late 1800s that recorded bird observations at different stations (among other things).
