Help Digitize our Collections!
Volunteers can now help the Sam Noble Museum virtually by transcribing important collection documents.
Choose from the collections below to begin transcribing!
Start where someone left off or begin transcribing a new document. Go at your own pace and choose what looks interesting to you! Each icon will take you to a Google sheet with several documents attached. The first google sheet will provide you with an example of what to do. Please refer to this sheet if you have any questions.
Herpetology
The field documents below were created by Dr. A. I Ortenhurger, the first curator of Zoology at our museum, as he traveled around the state documenting the biodiversity of all animals (1920s-1930s).
Ornithology
The field documents below were created by Dr. George Miksch Sutton, one of the founders of the Ornithology collection at our museum. As an avid naturalist and artist, Sutton has contributed countless illustrations and research to the museum.
