Following Monday’s post, here are some illustrations of everyday life in the rest of our collections:
In the Adams lab ants are busy tending their fungi gardens. No students are working the day I stop by, but Rachelle Adams, Assistant Professor in the department of Evolution, Ecology & Organismal Biology, is happy to take a break from her computer work and she shows me the ant colonies in her lab.
In the Herbarium long-time volunteer Donna Schenk relabels some of the folders that hold the plant specimens. Taxonomy is not static, molecular studies reveal new relationships and classifications are revised. To keep the collection up-to-date and to make it easy to find each specimen we need to keep up with these changes.
In the mollusc collection I find Collection Manager Caitlin Byrne working on the computer. Student worker Trevor Smoot sorts through a bag of mussel shells which a researcher donated to the collection. With a big smile Trevor lays out the shells on top of the cabinets, apparently these are some his favorite species. Others will be identified and catalogued later.
In the fish collection Sampling Coordinator Brian Zimmerman and Assistant Curator Marc Kibbey both work on their computers.

I found this extremely interesting! It’s amazing to get an inside look at the enhancing work done to maintain such collections. It was particularly interesting to hear about how changes in taxonomy impact the management of the Herbarium one can only imagine how huge a task this must be! This takes me back to when I was researching Wikipedia Page Creation in UAE for project accuracy and constant keeping is maintained just like in museum collections. Thanks for this insight into museum life waiting excitedly for more posts like this!
