Welcome to Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio), the U.S. National Resource for supporting and advancing digitization of biodiversity collections. Since 2011, iDigBio has partnered with hundreds of collections to digitize and mobilize specimen-based data. iDigBio recently received funding from the National Science Foundation to continue this work for another five years. Director of iDigBio, Gil Nelson, will present an overview of our activities in this phase of funding, including an exciting addition: the Symbiota Support Hub based at Arizona State University. iDigBio Project Assistant, Alnycea Blackwell, will additionally share how you can stay in touch and get involved with us.

Digitization networks, such as the NSF-funded Thematic Collections Networks (TCNs), are a key stakeholder group for iDigBio, and we provide space for these networks to connect not only with us but also with each other to share and learn from each other’s experience. iDigBio Project Manager, David Jennings, and Biodiversity Informatics Coordinator, Cat Chapman, will offer suggestions for how multi-institutional networks can streamline their digitization project management, when to look to iDigBio for support, and how to get digitized biodiversity collections data mobilized.
