Harvard University (Ernst Mayr Library of the Museum of Comparative Zoology)

The Harvard University Botany Libraries and the Ernst Mayr Library of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, along with the partner institution libraries of the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, the Missouri Botanical Garden, The New York Botanical Garden, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the Internet Archive, will plan a cost-effective and efficient large-scale digitization workflow with enhanced metadata for biodiversity library materials designated as “special collections.” The partners propose to identify solutions for digitization of special collections materials by developing and comparing various technological, economic, and process models.
