What we want...

​

​The "Digital Natural History Archive Darmstadt(DiNArDa) has set itself the task of archiving collections three-dimensionally digitally and making the archives accessible to the public via the Internet. Since there have not yet been any satisfactory, routine-suitable solutions for the digital modeling of insects, a new type of scanner (DISC3D) was developed and published as an open project ("open source"). We are further developing the scanner within our association - with the aim that it can be used at numerous locations in the future.

​

Our specific goals:

​

• Structure of a Darmstadtcompetence center for the digitization of biodiversity

• Digital archiving andpublicationfrom natural history collections

• Development of digital and interactive learning concepts around the area biodiversity and insect mortality

• Citizen Science Projects:Citizens create knowledge
