This course has two goals: firstly to introduce Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ to the history, preparation, curation, and scientific use of natural history collections; and second is to familiarize them with the basic structure and management of data associated with museum collections. The course will be leaning on vertebrate zoological collections as examples for both goals, as they involve complex physical and data curation. However, the core concepts are transferrable to different types of collections, with different practices and purposes, across disciplines. Courses will take place in Health Sciences (HS) 212 or Interdisciplinary Science Building (ISB) 404A. Check schedule for class location.
