The work of an herbarium preparer deepens our knowledge of living organisms and supports their conservation. An herbarium functions as a library of biodiversity, housing preserved specimens that document species variation across time. This session examines the traditional techniques used to assemble and mount specimens, tracing methods that date back to the 16th century, and shows how contemporary preparators continue to enrich collections that serve research, taxonomy and conservation.
