Interns

Contributions to the database have been made by numerous student and recent graduate interns and volunteers.  From 2011-2014, they worked on various aspects of upgrading the database and adding records.  Beginning in 2020, there was a concerted effort to work toward greater coverage of the state, as well as to overhaul the metadata standards for the database.

The following individuals contributed their time, photos, and expertise to adding database records, updating records, creating metadata standards, and planning for an upgraded public web design.
