This protocol describes how to link specimen images to their existing records in CCH2 by transcribing the accession numbers on the images. This step is necessary for institutions that had records in CCH2 before imaging and did not update specimen records with barcode numbers while barcoding.

Phenological Scoring Protocol *Coming soon*
|
This protocol will describe how to score phenology (i.e., reproductive condition) of plant specimens from their images in CCH2.

This diagram visualizes the overall digitization process as a series of steps. The steps are colored according to the type of person who is responsible for completing these steps. Note that the workflow demonstrates the steps to be completed for any given specimen, and these steps may be occurring simultaneously for different specimens.
