[NHCOLL-L:1331] Re: digital imaging of herbariumspecimens

[Rusty Russell]

Dear Piet,

The United States National Herbarium has also initiated a program to digitize its holdings and have completed over 8000 type specimens.  A brief description of the project and a search tool for the entire Type Collection of over 93,000 specimens can be found at http://rathbun.si.edu/botany/types/ 

If you have any specific questions regarding the project, please contact me directly.

We want to make images of the historical collections and the types.
What is the experience of other institutes? What kind of digital camera
you use? Any advice, suggestion or comment is welcome.

Thanks,
Piet
