Abstract
Natural history collections contain a wealth of information on species diversity, distribution and ecology. However, due to historical and practical constraints, this valuable information is not always available to researchers. Our project aimed at unlocking data handwritten in notebooks owned by Johanna Bonne-Wepster, a Culicidae researcher. These handwritten notes refer to specimens labeled with a number only. The notebooks were scanned and entered into a Google spreadsheet. The specimens were provided with a unique identifier, labeled with the information from the notebooks and the data exported to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. In addition, the type specimens were photographed. Besides Johanna Bonne-Wepster's collection, mosquitoes from the former Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijk Historie collection and the former Zoölogisch Museum Amsterdam Nederland collection were digitized. All specimens are now housed at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center museum in Leiden. This paper describes the efforts to mobilize this data and the problems we encountered.
自然历史藏品蕴含着物种多样性、分布和生态学方面的丰富信息。然而，由于历史和现实的限制，研究人员并非总能获得这些宝贵的信息。我们的项目旨在解开约翰娜-博内-韦普斯特（Johanna Bonne-Wepster）笔记本中的手写数据。这些手写笔记只涉及标有编号的标本。这些笔记本被扫描并输入谷歌电子表格。标本都有一个唯一的标识符，并标注了笔记本上的信息，数据被导出到全球生物多样性信息基金。此外，还对模式标本进行了拍照。除了 Johanna Bonne-Wepster 的收藏外，前 Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijk Historie 收藏和前 Zoölogisch Museum Amsterdam Nederland 收藏的蚊子也被数字化。目前，所有标本都存放在莱顿的 Naturalis 生物多样性中心博物馆。本文介绍了我们为调动这些数据所做的努力以及遇到的问题。
