Sponsored by- Connecting to Collections Care This webinar will provide an overview on herbarium collections. This includes covering the broad range of taxonomic organisms that may be housed in a traditional herbarium and what some of the storage options are for their many forms. Some basic schemes of organization and what a taxonomic revision means for collections will be discussed.

A list of some of the critical resources for understanding and maintaining these collections will be provided and gone over, and digitization will be touched on briefly.
