Rapid imaging, processing and upload to KE EMu using voice recognition Susan Butts and Jessica Utrup Division of Invertebrate Paleontology Yale Peabody Museum
Need for rapid imaging… NSF grant in 2006 YPM-IP stratigraphic collection
extreme fluctuations in T & RH water - pipes - flooding
acidic oak cabinets Byne’s effluorescence in situ etching
physical forces (overcrowded conditions, improper containers)
Relocate to ESC Class of 1954 Environmental Science Center (2001) facility is continually monitored & logged for T & RH (60º F and 47.5%RH)
NSF BRC (2006) Briggs & Butts move from basement to ESC, digitize • curate: assess and retray • digitize • catalog in KE EMu (+georeferencing) • Imaging of brachiopod specimens • Rehouse in systematic collection
How do you type in the specimen number while taking three identified-orientation images of the specimen (re-orienting each time), convert those images to web-ready files, and attach the cluster of images to the EMu object record for est. 75,000 brachiopods in three years?
