We participate in a variety of educational and outreach events every year. We also regularly attend and present at conferences, both in the United States and abroad. In addition to those events, we’ll also include events here that are of interest to us or are relevant to collections, digitization, or entomology.
In this era of rapid environmental change, the animal, mineral, and plant specimens preserved in natural history collections offer a crucial window into the past. Around the world, natural history curators are digitizing their collections to offer scientists greater access for specimen-based research and the development of long-range datasets. Learn more about Wisconsin’s early specimen collectors and UW-Madison’s effort to make its own natural history collections available online from curators Ken Cameron, Laura Monahan, Craig Brabant, and Carrie Eaton, and artist Martha Glowacki, co-curator of Collections & Connections: 150 Years of the Wisconsin Academy, which was on view at the James Watrous Gallery earlier in 2020.
Free and open to the public with advance online registration.
