<b>Abstract: </b>The US Herbarium is attempting to digitize over
one million botanical specimens in 14 months using a digitization
conveyor belt. Given that the smallest problem in process can result
in huge data errors, the workflows and strategies are continually
revised to create a streamline of 16-20,000 specimen images and data
records per week. The challenge is to do this in a working herbarium
where the landscape can change from week to week. I’ll be
discussing our workflows, tips and tricks to keep the data flowing
efficiently, and lessons learned from a fast-paced digitization
project.<br>
