Max in action – Herbarium digitisation, Guernsey

La Société Guernesiaise was founded to encourage the study of the natural history, geography and geology of the Bailiwick of Guernsey in the Channel Islands.  As part of its remit, La Société holds an extensive collection of herbarium specimens.

In the summer of 2024, Max undertook the digitisation of the herbarium collection and developed a feature-rich website to enable the easy search and viewing of the specimen images.

Max’s flexible and adaptable approach meant that the capture stations could be setup within La Société’s site, minimising the risks of transportation and optimising the digitisation process.

To illustrate this project, we have produced a short video.  Please click on the image or visit our YouTube channel to view.
