Digitising Haswell’s Historic Zoological Collection

Digitisation of the Haswell collection commenced in 2016 support by funds granted by the University of Sydney’s Chancellor’s Committee. From the outset, the project adopted the “students-as-partners” model with student volunteers and undergraduate interns coming from biology and museum studies to work on the project (Team Haswell).
