伦敦自然历史博物馆（NHMUK）已经开始了一项雄心勃勃的计划，将其藏品数字化。该计划的第一阶段是开展一系列试点项目，以开发支持大型科学收藏品大规模数字化所需的工作流程和基础设施。本文介绍了一个试点项目- iCollections的结果。该项目将所有通常被认为是蝴蝶的鳞翅目标本数字化，其中181，545个标本来自不列颠群岛和爱尔兰的89个物种。数字化的数据包括物种名称、地理参考位置、采集者和采集日期-标本数据的内容、地点、人员和时间。此外，还拍摄了每个样本的数字图像。之前的一篇论文解释了数据的获取方式以及组成该项目的集合的背景。本文件介绍了管理该项目的技术，后勤和经济方面。
The Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK) has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collections. The first phase of this programme was to undertake a series of pilot projects to develop the workflows and infrastructure needed to support mass digitisation of very large scientific collections. This paper presents the results of one of the pilot projects - iCollections. This project digitised all the lepidopteran specimens usually considered as butterflies, 181,545 specimens representing 89 species from the British Isles and Ireland. The data digitised includes, species name, georeferenced location, collector and collection date - the what, where, who and when of specimen data. In addition, a digital image of each specimen was taken. A previous paper explained the way the data were obtained and the background to the collections that made up the project. The present paper describes the technical, logistical, and economic aspects of managing the project.
