In many cases specimens were deposited in museums without field notes or associated photographs. Now, collectors can log in to the website, find their records and upload their personal field notes and photographs of specimens and habitats taken at the time of collection (or taken at other times) and have them permanently associated with their previously curated specimen collections and maintained permanently in the Texas Natural History Collections digital library. We heartily encourage those collectors who historically contributed specimens to museums to now find their collection records here, and not only verify and comment on them to help us improve the database further, but also to take advantage of the power of this site to contribute their habitat photos taken at the time of collection, field notes (see, for example, our collection of scans of Dr. Clark Hubbs' field notes), etc.
Note that tools for uploading field notes and locality images are not currently functional, and users are encouraged to send us those via e-mail or other means.
All information contributed by the broad community of researchers and other site users greatly increases the value of this database, and all contributions will be permanently archived here for posterity. Users without contributed collections can also upload species-level photographs on our taxa pages. See the table below for details regarding user data and image submissions. All contributions will be vetted for accuracy by Fishes of Texas staff prior to being made available on the Fishes of Texas website. Users experiencing difficulties using our upload tools of any kind are encouraged to contact us with questions or send us data directly via e-mail.
