Current Projects

We are constantly updating and expanding our collections, as well as improving the quality and accessibility of data associated with our specimens. A major modernization that has been underway since 2018 has been imaging our specimens so that the images and associated data are searchable online through Symbiota portals (find links to these portals under the Collections tab). We are 1/3 of the way through this conversion, and our student staff, student interns, and volunteers of all stripes are making this massive effort happen. We are also assisting smaller regional herbaria to get their specimen data and images online. Specimens that have come through the door since 2019 have been imaged and can be searched online. The projects listed below are our current funded acquisition or collaboration projects.
