digitization of museum specimens for the Lyman Entomological Museum and McGill University Herbarium

Data rescue intern:
Jessica Reemeyer

My Data Rescue Internship focused on facilitating digitization of museum specimens for the Lyman Entomological Museum and McGill University Herbarium. Both museums had data that had been digitized but needed a database to store the data and an easier way for volunteers to upload data as they digitize new specimens. To fill these needs, I created a web-hosted SQL database for each museum. I then created a corresponding website with a webform to facilitate digitization of specimens.
