August Lunchtime Lecture: Curating and Digitizing the Sherwin Carlquist Collection
“Musings on Curating and Digitizing the Sherwin Carlquist Collection & Natural History Museum Collections Career Paths”
Hear from Librarian Ana Niño about BRIT Library and California Botanic Garden’s National Science Foundation-funded joint digitization project, “Advancing the Sherwin Carlquist Collection”! These two institutions are collaborating to digitize the biological and archival materials of the late botanist, Sherwin Carlquist, and to then link these disparate collection materials to one another. Niño will also discuss the different types of career opportunities and roles available in natural history collections.
