Animal, Mineral, Vegetable & Digital
A panel discussion
In this era of rapid environmental change, the animal, mineral, and plant specimens preserved in natural history collections offer a crucial window into the past. Around the world, natural history curators are digitizing their collections to offer scientists greater access for specimen-based research and the development of long-range datasets. Learn more about Wisconsin’s early specimen collectors and UW-Madison’s effort to make its own natural history collections available online from curators Ken Cameron, Laura Monahan, Craig Brabant, and Carrie Eaton, and artist Martha Glowacki, co-curator of Collections and Connections: 150 Years of the Wisconsin Academy, which was on view at the James Watrous Gallery earlier in 2020.
