Download AEBR 307 Grooming and preparation of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Database

The Yellow-eyed Penguin Database (YEPDB), containing monitoring, marking, post-mortem, and captivity data for yellow-eyed penguins in New Zealand from 1971 to 2022, was groomed following a 5-step scripted and manual cleaning workflow. Original records, often in paper form, were digitally archived in a Microsoft SharePoint Data Management System (DMS), along with the cleaned tables, master lists, ancillary tables, database metadata, and 29 lookup tables.
