Drawer Imaging Group

Whole-Drawer Digitization Interest Group

This page is devoted to resources and discussion for whole-drawer imaging of dried, pinned insect collection drawers. The interest group schedules regular discussion sessions via Adobe Connect for the purpose of sharing techniques, strategies, uses, improvements, and technology associated with producing a single image of an entire insect drawer. Resources, related documents, and discussion notes are stored below.
