WeDigBio 2025 – Community Science Event

Details:

Thousands of people worldwide are working together this October in an annual event to digitize biodiversity collections. This event is known as WeDigBio, which stands for Worldwide Engagement for Digitizing Biocollections. 

WeDigBio is a virtual science festival, global data campaign, and local outreach opportunity. All around the globe, community scientists (people just like you!) will be transferring data from physical specimens onto highly accessible, digital data platforms. By digitizing our herbarium vouchers, we transform our collection into a digital resource available to anyone with an internet connection.

Participate with us and our global community to learn about the Gardens Herbarium and about the process of digitization.  Sign up to attend the Garden’s WeDigBio 2025 event below. To learn more about digitization, we invite you to read these articles:
