Ensuring Long-Term Access to Biodiversity Data: iDigBio, GBIF, and Beyond | Webinar (Nov 18, 2025)

With over 148 million specimen records aggregated, iDigBio has served as the United States national aggregator of natural history collections data since its inception in 2011. As the project reaches its final year of funding, ensuring the continued accessibility and availability of these invaluable specimen records is crucial to the scientific community. This session aims to demonstrate potential pathways forward for data providers and users, with a focus on utilizing the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, or GBIF. Approximately 98% of US-based data in iDigBio are already aggregated by or migrated to GBIF, making the GBIF pathway seamless for many data providers. We hope this session encourages fruitful discussion on maintaining data accessibility and availability. Speakers: Cat Chapman (Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, iDigBio) Marie Grosjean (GBIF)
