Often referred to by project name, Aves, the NCSM Online Collections web application is our flagship search and data-sharing platform for the biological, geological, and paleontological collections at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. The application is built on Laravel and Vue.js. Bootstrap takes care of the responsive behavior, vivus.js for SVG animations, and jQuery Datatables for the display and interactivity of search results. Several collections include a web map for georeferenced specimens based on Leaflet and custom GeoJSON API endpoints provided by the NCMNS API.

A secure digital asset management system with features including asset capture, automatic metadata extraction, image viewing and editing, custom categorization, and support for a broad range of file types. Assets are shared, searched, and downloaded through a sophisticated web interface and API.
