During our special volunteer-powered digitization event, a team from CHASE stepped out of the office and into the archives—working side by side with our collection managers to bring history into the digital age. From cataloging to capturing, every click helps preserve stories for generations to come.

Students from Wheaton Montesorri stepped behind the scenes at the museum—not just to observe, but to contribute. From helping process collections to supporting real scientific work, this trip showed that science isn’t limited to labs or experts—it’s something we can all be part of. #CitizenScienceMonth #MuseumLearning #ScienceForAll #communityscience, #scistarter, #ScienceForEveryone #OpenScienceForAll #EveryoneCanDoScience #globaltcn, #fieldmuseum
Faster scientific discovery-With large datasets available digitally, researchers can use tools like AI and data modeling to discover new patterns, relationships, and even identify new species more efficiently. Participate in a virtual event: https://scistarter.org/citizensciencemonth-participate

Continuing the count down! Physical specimens, handwritten notes, and field records can degrade or be lost. Digitization preserves this information permanently and protects it from damage. #wedigbio #biodiversity #communityscience #communityscientist #naturalhistory #science #scienceforall #scistarter #scienceforeveryone #scienceforeveryone #scienceisforeveryone
When biodiversity data is digitized, scientists and policymakers can quickly analyze species distributions, population trends, and threats. This supports smarter conservation strategies, especially for endangered species and fragile ecosystems. https://scistarter.org/citizensciencemonth-participate
