Descrição
Kenelm W. Philip Lepidoptera collection,includes the Alaska Lepidoptera Survey (ALS) collection. ALS was a citizen science initiative lead by Dr. Philip that was active from 1970 to 2014 and included over 600 people. 90% of the KWP pinned collection (~43,200 specimens) will be transferred to the NMNH in August 2018.

Dados Sobre o Projeto
In 1970, Dr. Philip established the Alaska Lepidoptera Survey, which would become the largest and longest running citizen science project in Alaska’s history. Based out of his private laboratory in Fairbanks, Dr. Philip mailed collecting kits along with a collapsible net and instructions to over 600 volunteers who promised to collect and send him specimens. The kits included ‘Station Sheets’, a template form to document the habitat in any locality where specimens were collected. Dr. Philip solicited help through the radio, public speeches and newspaper articles that ran statewide. These ALS specimens were combined with Dr. Philip's own specimens in the KWP collection.

Métodos de Amostragem
Aerial net and black light traps were used to collect Lepidoptera. Some sites were repeatedly visited on multiple years, many were not.
| Área de Estudo | Eastern Russia, Alaska, western Canada (aka Beringia). Sampled during spring, summer (primarily), and fall. |

Descrição dos passos do método:
- Specimens were stored initially in field envelopes, the KWP collection has 37,151 specimens stored within field envelopes; some were transferred to curated envelopes stored by collection event, (37,389 specimens), and some were mounted on pins and spread (49,636 specimens). Identifications were mostly by Kenelm Philip and Clifford Ferris (for moths). Georeferencing was initially performed by use of topographic maps. Post 2014 georeferencing was performed using Google Earth, GeoLocate, etc.
