Learn about Digitization

The New York Botanical Garden has used EMu as their collections management software since 2004. They are currently participating in the National Science Foundation’s Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections program in an effort to make their collection available online to the scientific community and to the public. 

Our East Coast Roadshow will focus on presentations, discussion groups, and resource planning sessions surrounding the following themes:

-Digital Asset Management

-Drop Zone 

-Mass Barcoding

-Rapid Data Entry 

Learn more about The New York Botanical Garden by attending tours of the grounds, Herbarium, and Library.
