My name is Taylor. I am the newest graduate student to start in the Monfils Lab. I have been given the pleasure of helping Emilee and Dr. Monfils digitize and re-organize the Central Michigan Herbarium.
The first task I was given was to address workflow issues by re-organizing the herbarium for digitization. The following pictures will serve as our "before" shots.
 |
| A collection of hand drawn and hand painted floral drawings |
 |
| Book 1 of a 5 book set of North American Wild Flowers issued by the Smithsonian Institute |
 |
| A book of hand drawn and hand painted flowers found in Hawaii |
 |
| A book of pressed plant specimens from the late 1800s |
 |
| A book of pressed New Zealand ferns arranged in artistic combinations. The cover is made of real wood! |
 |
| A book of prepared algae specimens, most colored artistically |
 |
| Some impressive specimens from "Algae" |
> >I look forward to sharing the continued progress of the Central Michigan Herbarium, as well as the continued progress of the digitization progress with Emilee and Dr. Monfils.
Thanks for reading
