This report describes the projects I conducted at the MU Herbarium during my herbarium collections management internship. The internship and subsequent report were conducted to fulfill requirements for graduation from the Master of Environmental Science (MEn) program at MU’s Institute for the Environment and Sustainability (IES). I completed three main projects during the course of my internship. The first project involved updating the MU Herbarium Assistant’s Manual, which was last updated in 1980. The second project was the digitization of the fungal collection of the University of Cincinnati. The final project was the organization and intercalation of Peruvian specimens collected between 2004-2005 by MU Botany PhD graduate Xanic Rondon. Herbarium curator and advisor Michael Vincent selected these projects for my internship to provide specific learning opportunities that have prepared me for professional natural history collections management. 2018-04-26 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1524744021639645 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1524744021639645 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
