Some notes on the digitisation workflow at the LWS herbarium

The digitisation workflow currently applied at the herbarium of the State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine (LWS) differs from other similar by cascade ('object-to-data-to-image') multilevel organisation. Its application is predicted by the need to preselect specimens by taxon and region, as well as by batched digitisation, which occurs with significant interruptions. Focusing on certain taxonomic groups from specific regions allows us to digitise specimens that could be more valuable for scientific processing. At the same time, the herbarium benefits from such a digitisation model by revising the existing collection classification and keeping the initial ID system. Represented digitisation workflow can be easily reproduced in any herbarium with a limited budget. Provided schemas and notes will help maintain the digitisation, choose appropriate equipment and materials, and pay attention to critical aspects.
