Why Reunite These Data? Aiding Current and Future Scientific Study Contextualizing Science and its History

Methods of Reuniting the Data: Digitization Archival documents must be selected for their importance and relevance and curated on library digital platforms such as the University of Colorado’s Digital Library. http://flfo-search.colorado.edu/ Disparate Florissant fossil collections are now being reunited digitally online https://content.cu.edu/digitallibrary/index.html
