EEB Museums Friday Seminar Series - Specimen Tales: Stories and Insights from the William & Lynda Steere Herbarium
The Steere Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden is one of the largest herbaria in the world, with nearly 8 million specimens of plants, fungi, lichens, and algae. We believe that every specimen has a story to tell, and this talk will explore some of the specimen tales we’ve uncovered at NY over the years, while also illustrating the specimen digitization process and how each stage of digitization can contribute to unlocking the stories of specimens.
