Hi All,

I released a tool last year that people here might find useful. ?Material Examined? https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmaterial-examined.herokuapp.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cf0a69804109e471803da08db14c4062d%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638126604388579993%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=szEpSmjUGCt1vb1hA5LM5JCPT%2Fplfs%2BRmLXJCfKbDIg%3D&reserved=0 takes a specimen code, e.g. "BMNH 1891.6.13.25? and tries to map it to GBIF. You can think of it as a tool to convert codes to links, or just to find specimens in GBIF that are mentioned in a paper or a database.

Some examples:

After I released it I moved to working on other things and more or less forgot about this tool, so much that the hosting service switched it off. I?ve restored it as it?s become relevant to my own work again, and others may also find it of interest.

Regards, Rod
