Small university collections are a crucial resource, as they store the 
detailed knowledge of the flora or fauna of a particular region. 
Digitization of small collections is a necessary step in increasing 
their value. Continued sustainability is often based on the successful 
recruitment and engagement of students.  Developing a program to enlist 
and retain students can ensure the future of your collections while 
creating an environment well-suited to foster a new generation 
well-trained serve as advocates to endorse the value of natural history 
collections.  The focus of this presentation will be in two parts:  1) 
to present an overview and workflow of digitization in small mammal 
collections, and 2) to present different activities that can serve as an 
attractant and maximize the breadth of training opportunities in 
collections stewardship.
