Caught in the Web: Navigating Challenges in Digitising the Arachnid and Myriapod Collections
Dr. Jason Dunlop, curator of the Arachnida and Myriapoda collections at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, will share insights into the complex process of digitising natural history collections and present the approach taken. While the focus of this online lecture is natural history artefacts it may also be of interest to those working with Cultural Heritage collections and the Collections as Data paradigm.
The presentation will address:
· Transferring metadata from catalogues into usable digital formats
· Ensuring data consistency
· The importance of curatorial expertise in digitisation workflows
· Ensuring long-term data integrity through committed curation efforts
