Informatics focuses on imagining, designing and implementing biological collections software for research data publication, analysis and management. We develop and support a multi-platform database system for the digitization and curation of museum specimen information, as well as a suite of software tools and web services for computing and visualizing models of species distributions based on climate and museum specimen data.

Our technology staff actively collaborates with research informatics laboratories in the U.S. and internationally to develop leading edge, open source, biodiversity software solutions, including biodiversity computing middleware, data repositories, network protocols, and science education materials.

We have a 15-year track record of engineering and supporting high quality research software. We also offer technical helpdesk support, museum data management training, software customization, and data migration services to biological museums and herbaria to help them mobilize specimen data from their collections to the Internet.
