About this event series

Scientists here and around the world need your help! Join us online or in-person to transcribe scientific labels from our collections.

WeDigBio, or Worldwide Engagement for Digitizing Biocollections, is a global event that invites science enthusiasts to help digitize natural history collections.

This year, join us online (or in-person with limited capacity) to preserve centuries of data about life on Earth. You’ll record data on organisms like plants and insects, meet our scientists, and tune-in for behind-the-scenes tours of Field Museum collections.

For questions about this event, email wedigbio@fieldmuseum.org for more information. Interested in getting more involved with digitizing collections at the Field? Consider joining our Collections Club.
