Scrophulariaceae Curation

This project involved the sorting and filing of approximately 1,000 specimens belonging to the families Scrophulariaceae and Boraginaceae. Specimens were first sorted according to genera, then geographical location, and finally by species (alphabetically). The project included both newly mounted material as well as return loans. Library and laboratory visits were included in the internship, as well as some hours spent in the Processing Department.
