Mass-digitization of scientific collections
Tools and technologies with global delivery and support.
Digitization as a Service
If you have millions of specimens to digitize, an outsourcing service might be necessary. We offer that at our factory in Joensuu, Finland.
Research as a Service
We have been in the forefront of biodiversity informatics since 1992.
Our vision is to industrialize digitization
World’s biodiversity is rapidly vanishing. Yet scientific collections at natural history museums and other institutions boast 2-3 billion specimens. Their information must rapidly be made available on Internet in order to boost scientific discovery and sustainable management of ecosystems.
In order to support these aims, Bioshare Digitization offers products and services in the following areas:
- Automated digitization equipment and integrated high-performance imaging lines
- Out-sourced digitization services
- Research and development of novel digitization methods
- Consultancy in a range of applications from biodiversity informatics to ecosystem management
Bioshare Digitization is a spin-out and successor of Digitarium, a global pioneer in mass-digitization. Since 2010, our group has built seven integrated mass-digitization systems for our customers — four for herbarium sheets, and three for pinned insects.
