Today is World Digital Preservation Day, and we have our Senior Images Coordinator Lee-Anne🦉Raymond taking over our Twitter feed until 5pm to talk all things #digitalpreservation in the Museum! 👋👀

Here's a great thread from Karen Rowe The #DigitalPreservation of more than 5000 sounds of nature deepens knowledge via a uniquely transformational medium for identifying biodiversity in place “Communities Listening for Nature Collection” #WDPD2020 #DigitsForGood

The film “Why should we listen to nature?” shows how dedicated community groups improve outcomes for wildlife through the #DigitalPreservation of Victoria’s unique natural soundscapes youtube.com/watch?v=xIPnvz… #WDPD2020

Knowing where threatened species make their home is the first step in conserving their habitats. Wildlife soundscape recordings can be used to digitally preserve their presence in space & time, leading to better conservation outcomes for species like the Powerful Owl. #WDPD2020

Visualising sound expands the possibilities of studying bird song complexity. This spectrogram of a Superb Lyrebird’s song shows how #DigitalPreservation of sounds improves knowledge of vocal mimicry and how it shapes remarkable behaviours. Karen Rowe #WDPD2020

Extreme #bushfires saw a tough start to 2020 for Victorian #biodiversity, but our scientists are not giving up! It’s time to “Get engaged and pay attention to your wildlife” says Kevin C Rowe Snr curator Dr Kevin Rowe🐁Digitising brings researcher➡️wildlife➡️us #WDPD2020

Data and collections from a 2016 Bush Blitz biodiversity survey of Croajingolong National Park gives us a baseline to help assess damage from the recent fires ⬇️ tinyurl.com/y63voxua #DigitsForGood #Biodiversity #BushBlitz

At Museums Victoria current #bushfire research is focused on assessment and recovery – hear from some of our scientists ➡️tinyurl.com/y69vm9k7 #DigitsForGood #BushfireRecovery #StubbornOptimism

…others are busy in collection spaces and home offices, digitizing Victorian specimens so that specimen information and images are available for comparison, assessment and ultimately protection of our fauna. @DELWP_Vic #DigitsForGood Melbourne Museum

To get a deeper insight into the Treasures of the Natural World exhibition, attend this Saturday’s lecture where I’ll be speaking more about #TreasuresoftheNaturalWorld alongside MV curators Rebecca Carland, Karen Rowe and Ken Walker! fal.cn/3gItb

Do you love wildlife conservation technology and museum collections? Come work with me at Melbourne Museum, looking at the feasibility of cryobanking as a wildlife conservation tool in Victoria. Details at museumsvictoria.com.au/careers/ with a closing date of 4th August.

Choose now, people of #Victoria ! Meet the fossils that helped shape our understanding of life on our planet and vote for your choice to be our state #fossil emblem!

Getting out into the bush, to see the animals that we have spent our lives studying is a biologist's jam! I'm looking forward to sharing the research that builds on these field trips and collections. Plus lizard photos. There will be lizards.

In case you're living under a rock (another pun): right now we're looking for the #Fossil #State #Emblem of #Victoria. We had a hard time narrowing down all the amazing possible fossils to just 8 species. Now it's your turn to chose the official one: museumsvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseu…
