University of Washington

The University of Washington will update plant records, digitize historical documents, and consolidate information into a single open-access geo-referenced database for the Washington Park Arboretum. In addition to making collections data more readily accessible to researchers, teachers, students, and the general public, the project will help the university improve its ability to manage and track the arboretum collections and specifically will help staff prepare to address the impact of bridge construction scheduled to begin in 2016.
