[Nhcoll-l] Seeking Protocols for Imaging Entomological Specimens

[Tindall, Alexis (SAM)]

Hi Jenny,

The South Australian Museum, Australian Museum and others have been working on entomological imaging for the Atlas of Living Australia.

Some of what we have learned, including digitisation and workflow guidance and some helpful tips are available here: http://www.ala.org.au/about-the-atlas/digitisation-guidance/

I'd draw your attention to the bottom of that page, where you can find downloadable pdf 'final reports' for our projects at SAMA and the AM, which include information about equipment purchasing decisions, costs and workflow particular to our projects.

Also, the basic manuals from the SA Museum volunteer digitisation project are available on our website here:
http://www.samuseum.sa.gov.au/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=171&catid=35&id=403&view=article
(These have had a couple of updates just recently, please get in touch with me off list if you'd like me to send through updated versions, or our Photoshop manual).

Also, happy to answer any particular questions that you have, feel free to email me at alexis.tindall at samuseum.sa.gov.au<mailto:alexis.tindall at samuseum.sa.gov.au>. We don't have all the answers, still struggling with a few things ourselves, but I might be able to help a bit, or point you in the direction of someone who can.

Cheers,
Alexis

Hello All,

Does anyone happen to have an imaging guide or detailed protocols for imaging entomological specimens? If anyone could share their information with us, I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

Jenny Leasor
