IT and Science: Indiana University Herbarium completes massive plant digitization project

Indiana University Herbarium (the USA) has completed a massive plant digitization project. The digitization of more than 160,000 plant specimens will provide access to data to researchers across the globe.

The project, launched in 2014, provides online access to the complete collection of the IU Herbarium. This information is valuable to the global plant research community, as well as gardeners and nature enthusiasts who wish to learn more about the plants.

Access to data and images is provided by the Consortium of Midwest Herbaria.
