Annotation and Identification Day Event

The UW-Parkside Library and the UW-Parkside Natural History Collection are hosting an inaugural Annotation / Identification Day Event, January 9th from 8am to 4pm. Get a behind-the-scenes look at our invertebrate collections, meet invertebrate experts, learn about the value of museum collections, and discover how to make museum collections more accessible.

During this one-day identification blitz, we will label and organize specimens from the UWP Natural history collection. Throughout the day we will tally the number of specimens processed and report the total number at the end of the day. You are welcome to participate for an hour or two, or stay for the entire event!

Please let Jessica Orlofske (orlofske@uwp.edu) know if you are able to attend and if there is a particular group of specimens you would like to examine. Microscopes and other standard laboratory equipment is available on site. We also have students willing to help! If you have any special requests or interests, please let us know and we can try to make accommodations.
