Select the current Expedition under 'Get started'

Use the +/- button to the right of the image to zoom in and out on the image. The primary label is typically in the lower right-hand corner of the sheet. Click and drag the image so it is visible and adjacent to the empty fields.

Begin entering the locality information you see on the label: Country, State, and County. You'll notice as you type in the fields, a drop-down list will appear for you to select. Click the 'Next' button.

Enter the current scientific name. This will either be on the primary label, or the annotation label with the most recent date. Enter the collector name, number, and collection date from the primary label into the remaining three fields on this page. Click 'Need some help with this task?' under the field in which you have questions. A pop-up will appear with additional information on how to transcribe.

In the "Primary Label Text" type the remaining data on the label that you haven't previously entered. Ex. locality, habitat, plant description.
