Overview

Do you ever wish you had field pictures of your specimens? Mason and Bonnie will review how botanists use iNaturalist platform to link iNat images and data with specimen data. They leverage the widely used citizen science platform, iNaturalist, to permanently associate field‐collected images to herbarium specimens, including information not well preserved in traditional specimens. Labels are made using iNaturalist records, which are then linked to specimens directly with QR codes on labels that direct the user back to the iNaturalist record, including field images This protocol improves the efficiency and accuracy of all steps from the collecting event to specimen curation and enhances the potential uses of specimens. iNaturalist provides a standardized and cost‐efficient enhancement to specimen collection and curation that can be easily adapted for specific research goals or other collection types beyond herbaria.
