21世紀的重要議題「生物多樣性」重新彰顯了自然史藏品的價值與學術重要性。一門結合生物多樣性研究與資訊科技所發展出的「生物多樣性資訊學」，致力於研究與開發相關的資訊系統與管理工具，以提高資訊可及性與互通性。此一新興領域使得自然史蒐藏數位化的意義與內涵產生了系統性的轉變，自然史博物館將蒐藏數位化，使用者面對自然史蒐藏的途徑因而變得更為多樣化。但數位化的價值不僅只是資訊的開放，而必須達到一種更有效率、更主動式的知識分享與交流模式。本文旨在討論在生物多樣性資訊學視野下自然史博物館透過蒐藏數位化所帶來的館際、社群之間的學術整合與互動，並藉此探討自然史博物館蒐藏數位化的發展方向，並進一步反思自然史博物館因應生物多樣性危機的新社會角色。

In the 21^(st) century, biodiversity issues highlight the research value and importance of natural history collections. Biodiversity informatics, an emerging discipline devoted to advancing the accessibility and interoperability of biodiversity data by utilizing computer technologies to develop related information systems and tools, has transformed the meaning and practice of natural history collection digitization. By digitizing their collections, natural history museums have diversified the way users see and handle these collections. In fact, digitization has not only unlocked collections and additional information contained within them, but has also created more efficient and active ways to share and exchange knowledge. The aims of this study are to discuss the integration of biodiversity research data through the digitization of natural history collections and the interdisciplinary cooperation between natural history museums and international scientific communities. Also addressed are the future directions of collection digitization in natural history museums and the new social roles of museums in response to biodiversity crises.
