Specify Collections Consortium

The Specify Collections Consortium is a collaborative network of institutions and professionals dedicated to advancing the field of collections management and biodiversity informatics. The consortium facilitates the development, maintenance, and support of the Specify software—a robust, open-source platform designed for the management and analysis of natural history collections data. By promoting shared resources, knowledge exchange, and best practices, the Specify Collections Consortium empowers museums, herbaria, research institutions, and other organizations to efficiently and effectively document, curate, and access their valuable collections, ultimately supporting scientific research, conservation efforts, and public understanding of our natural world.
