University of Washington (Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture)

The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture will catalog and rehouse approximately 9,000 paleobotanical specimens in the collection, including fossil leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, wood, plant microfossils, and fossil insects, and will undertake data cleanup of approximately 20,000 specimens. The project will support a paid intern, several work study positions for graduate students, and a graduate research assistant position. Staff will also build new and strengthen existing relationships with regional Tribes through engagement and consultation focused on learning and knowledge sharing of Washington State’s paleontological resources.
