digital specimen records

Digital specimen records are electronic files that document detailed information about biological or physical samples, such as plants, animals, or fossils. They include data like origin, collection date, location, and scientific details. These records allow researchers and institutions to efficiently store, share, and access specimen information worldwide, supporting scientific study, conservation efforts, and education. Essentially, they serve as a digital catalog or database for biological specimens, replacing traditional paper records with a centralized, searchable, and easily updatable system.
