This workshop will focus on digitizing natural history specimen data and will cover tools and techniques used to correctly interpret textual location data into spatial descriptions that can be used in mapping and analyses. The primary goal is to prepare participants to return to their home institutions with the necessary skills and knowledge to launch or enhance a digitization program, either individually or through collaboration or partnership. Workshop topics will include an overview and introduction, standards, fundamentals of georeferencing best practices, resources, examples, and discussion.
