KoboToolbox & KoboCollect

KoBoToolbox is a free and open source software package for location and descriptive data collection. Information can be collected at heritage sites through tablets and phones using the KoBoCollect app or through the web browser interface, even when those devices are offline. Location and descriptive data recorded in the field can then be synched up with GIS software once an internet connection has been reestablished. KoboToolbox website: https://www.kobotoolbox.org/
