Dear colleagues, Since 2023 we have been working on developing simplified protocols for the fast and cheap digitization of natural history collection in Ukraine threatened by war. The initial draft of the book has been already deposited at Zenodo (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.5281%2Fzenodo.10251788&data=05%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7C10ece984f0744ff1585508dc94596fc5%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638548359065749815%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=k%2BvSf80ObpPz10RruyK2ui9KVoOXL9zYtKG0BKnOy4o%3D&reserved=0) and will be updated soon. However, we also would like to ask you to share your experience with digitization of your collections and your opinion regarding some controversial aspects. Hence, being a PI of the team, I will be thankful for filling out the survey which should take ca. 15-20 minutes of your time - https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fform.jotform.com%2F241745878874375&data=05%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7C10ece984f0744ff1585508dc94596fc5%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638548359065749815%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=frosG9M7ClZqUlgasknWzIJhTx0oknncDQM8lWTlE5A%3D&reserved=0 Best regards, Andriy Novikov -- _________________________________________ Senior Research Scientist, Dr. Andriy Novikov State Museum of Natural History National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Teatralna str. 18 79008 Lviv Ukraine Researcher ID: K-4997-2013 <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublons.com%2Fresearcher%2FK-4997-2013%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7C10ece984f0744ff1585508dc94596fc5%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638548359065749815%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=103c6AM7FRg1LwQyUT10qn40KqW4cdwKNHLnbZSqwQo%3D&reserved=0> ORCID: 0000-0002-0112-5070 <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Forcid.org%2F0000-0002-0112-5070&data=05%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7C10ece984f0744ff1585508dc94596fc5%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638548359065749815%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Du9pA3eciD3aYX1tLB9i74lRFtgw2wEHu981WXvv8qE%3D&reserved=0> _________________________________________
