CIDC and the Cornell Plantations

During the next two years, staff of the Institute and the Interactive Media Group will assist the Cornell Plantations in the systematic employment of digital technology to integrate taxonomic and historical data with real-time field study. This project will expand public and academic access to this important botanical collection, enhancing its usability, linking it to related collections, and testing hand-held and wireless devices for field study and public touring. Preliminary planning has begun on a pilot project to improve access to scientific specimans and historical data held by the L. H. Bailey Hortorium, linking this data to the developing Plantations database.
