These collections are used by students and are created in partnership with students as part of course assignments. COVID-19 and online instruction made the collection and training resources even more valuable to our learners than we originally envisioned. Join us to learn how we created these collections, uses for the digital objects in teaching and learning, and limitations of the digital collection when the physical specimen is not accessible.engUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
