Paul, short answer is YES the Atlas of Victorian Wildlife (AVW)(like the
BA atlas) can accept any amount of data in a number of electronic formats
(Excel spreadsheets, dbf files, comma delimited etc). My colleagues in
the AVW section here in East Melbourne have a standard set of files and
supporting information that can be sent to any interested observer via
email. The information is all in a ZIP file and can be accessed by
emailing a request to their address
The AVW also of course has paper recording sheets for submitting data and
it is this system I most often use, as I submit data as it's generated
after each trip. One of the benefits of using the AVW is that data
submitted is checked and reviewed and copies of observers information are
then sent back after it has been key-punched into the database. This
means you have neat copies of your data in a standard format for filing or
passing on. You can also access any of this data at a later stage by
request to the AVW staff.

Hi Martin,
Is it possible to submit atlas data electronically? I use Eremaea for
recording sightings and as we know from previous discussions on
birding-aus,
there are other systems in use also. I know that data can be exported from
Eremaea in a format that could be sent to someone else - I presume the
other
systems have similar functionality.
