Moving data to Specify from Access?  

Be aware the information in the Locality field is not formatted to be a locality name.

It is important that all data needs gets moved over.

  • The contents of the Access database 'Locality' field become the Verbatim Locality field in Specify.
  • You will also need to include information from the geography and georeference columns.
