Make a Difference in Kew's Digital Collections
Kew is seeking volunteers to help transcribe information from herbarium specimen labels. This valuable contribution will enable Kew to make its collections available online, providing a rich resource for scientists, historians, artists, and students worldwide.
As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to work from the comfort of your own home, at any time of day. No prior experience is necessary, as tutorials will be provided. Your efforts will help build Kew's digital online catalogue of plant and fungal specimens into an invaluable resource.
By transcribing specimen labels, you will be helping Kew to answer scientific questions about various plant genera, such as where they have been found and how long ago. You will also contribute to the discovery of gaps in Kew's collections.
To get started, create an account on the DigiVol portal and begin transcribing specimen labels. Your contributions will make a real difference in Kew's digital collections.
