HerpNET is a collaborative effort by natural history museums to establish a global network of herpetological collections data, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF No. 0132303) and a GBIF DIGIT grant. Currently, 60 institutions are participating in the HerpNET community, with an open-ended invitation to institutions who would like to join. Forty-nine institutions are available on the SPECIMEN SEARCHING PORTAL, with data from over 5.5 million specimens available for searching. The mission of HerpNET is to bring the accumulated knowledge from more than four million specimens in world-wide museum collections into currency for science and society by creating a distributed database with access from various portals. HerpNET will connect large repositories of information with smaller collections that have regional specializations. Similar efforts (e.g. MaNIS, FishNetII, MaPSTeDi, ORNIS) are being accomplished for other taxa and regions and the herpetological community is poised to make its own contribution to the study of biodiversity. HerpNET will bring together researchers from diverse institutions and will initiate and strengthen collaborations among natural history collections, conservation biology, phylogenetics and biodiversity informatics .
