Museums worldwide are actively digitizing their collections to enhance accessibility and broaden public engagement. This initiative increases the visibility and appreciation of valuable artifacts among the diverse communities that institutions like the New York State Museum serve.
As part of a nationwide digitization effort, the NYSM recently made its collection of algae available online, further contributing to the preservation and sharing of scientific and cultural knowledge. Now anyone with an internet connection can explore the algae that lie beneath the waters of New York State!
