The Fossil Insect Collaborative will digitize the collections of major fossil insect institutions in the US, creating records of over 500,000 specimens. The project aims to make these collections accessible online to further research on insect responses to environmental change. It involves partnerships between 7 institutions and will last 4 years, creating a central online hub called iDigPaleo to aggregate specimen data and images. This will allow researchers to interact with the dataset and further paleontological and biodiversity research.
