Contribute

This resource grows from the museomics community. There are two ways to add to it — no coding required for the first.

1. Suggest via a form (recommended)

Fill in a short GitHub issue form. A maintainer reviews it and adds it to the site. You’ll need a free GitHub account.

• Suggest a method → — a working method you’ve used on museum material.
• Suggest a bibliography entry → — a paper or SOP worth listing.

2. Contribute directly by pull request

If you’re comfortable with GitHub:

1. Fork the repository.
2. Add one Markdown file to _methods/ (or _bibliography/) following the front-matter schema in CONTRIBUTING.md.
3. Use only tag values from the controlled vocabulary in _data/tags.yml. CI checks this automatically — if you need a new tag, add it to that file in the same PR.
4. Open a pull request. A maintainer will review and merge.

A note on tags

Tags are a curated, controlled vocabulary so filtering stays consistent and typos don’t fragment the taxonomy. Proposing a new value is welcome — just edit _data/tags.yml in your PR, or mention it in your issue.
