Observers
Bring what you find.
Field notes, photographs, films, specimens, water samples, and home microscopy are all part of the intended collection. No formal training is required to begin.

There is a place here for careful attention.
Clio is being shaped in the open. We are looking for people who observe, identify, curate, teach, build, or simply want natural-history records to be useful beyond the moment they are uploaded.
Identifiers & curators
Bring your eye and your standards.
Naturalists, taxonomists, geologists, imaging specialists, and retired academics can help design and test the review trail.
Talk about curation ↗Labs & societies
Help define a pilot.
We would like to hear from museums, herbaria, university labs, core imaging facilities, and natural-history societies interested in shaping an honest pilot.
Discuss a pilot ↗Developers
Build the plumbing.
The future work includes schema validation, provenance, accessible interfaces, archival exports, and open protocol components. It is not yet a production integration.
Talk about building ↗Recognition, honestly
We are seeking conversation, not borrowed endorsement.
Clio has no claimed institutional partners or academic endorsements at this stage. If your organization works in biodiversity, natural history, geology, microscopy, or citizen science, we would value a second opinion on the foundations.
