CGN collecting missions

CGN collecting missions

Through these pages, we publish the information that we have on the collecting missions in which CGN participated. All available mission reports, collecting forms and background information have been digitised.

For each mission, a page has been created which contains all digitised information as PDF files. On these pages, we also offer digital maps, showing the locations of the sampled material. Additionally a ‘KMZ’ file is offered, which you can use to view the collecting locations using Google Earth software. When using the maps, please keep in mind that the coordinates of the sampled materials might be inaccurate, as they might be based on regions or even countries. This is especially the case for the earliest missions, as there was no GPS equipment available.

Additionally, the data of the collected material that is documented in our databases is available on each mission page. Although material might have been lost or may never have entered our collection, the associated information could still be available. These data, however, are not as well curated as the data on our active collection.
