| Abstract | The development of cheap mass imaging techniques has made transcription the bottleneck in digitising natural history collections. Crowdsourcing, or in this context “crowdscience”, has been successfully used across different scientific communities and has the potential to become an effective method for transcribing and georeferencing natural history data. We review current crowdsourcing platforms and communities and discuss their potential role in improving digital access to natural history collections worldwide. |
