Plant Disease and Pest Riker Mounts: A Unique Opportunity

---

Abstract

For better or worse, 2020 has presented archives and libraries around the world with unique circumstances and challenges. While the staff of the Sterling Morton Library (The Morton Arboretum) spent a good portion of 2020 working solely from home, as safety measures and other procedures were put into place, staff was allowed back into the library on a part-time basis. Once back in the library, a staff member of the plant pathology lab had a unique project request: to digitize over 250 riker mounts containing plant diseases and pests and then making them available for checkout from the library.
