Australian Museum CEO and Executive Director Kim McKay in conversation with Paul Flemons, Manager of Digital Collections and Citizen Science at the Australian Museum Research Institute (AMRI).

Paul has been instrumental in building the AM’s reputation as a world leader in biodiversity informatics and initiated the award winning DigiVol program.

"The collections that are many hundreds of years old we are now being able to make available not just to the local people who can get into the museum, but to people all around the world who do research on particular taxonomic groups, particular animal groups. Everyone has access to our collections once we make them digital."
