The DataBlitz is an event where you, the museum visitor, get to help us by transcribing scientific data from our collections. Like MPM's BioBlitzes, we want to see how many natural history specimen records can be transcribed in a single day.

This event will take place on Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 11:00am-3:00pm.
