Progress with the digitization and functioning of the herbarium itself would not be possible without the help of numerous volunteers. Their help is appreciated and acknowledged on the page. Some of these helpers have become paid part-time herbarium associates (shown in bold), who help with teaching the volunteers and provide continuity to the herbarium work. We hope to be able to hire a full time curator one day.
