Field notes

The catalogue is generated from photographic file metadata, using dates and positions to preserve both the specimen record and its route. The visible archive contains 437 records, of which 369 are georeferenced, and can be sorted through views ranging from “Groups” and “Dates” to “Spectrum,” “Plant Palette,” and “Map.” The project also identifies 44 languages for the dandelion and connects the archive to a community forum.
