Animal, Mineral, Vegetable... and Digital

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 and experts in the field including Ken Cameron, Laura Monahan, Craig Brabant, Carrie Eaton, and Martha Glowacki.

This event is free and open to the public.
