This program does not support actual digitization of federally owned collections, but recognizes that specimens owned by federal institutions may reside within non-federal collections. In these cases, partnership with the federal agency owning the specimens is encouraged in order to digitize all pertinent specimens for a theme. Also, some specimens relating to a research question may be housed in federal collections. Partnerships with these agencies would be appropriate so that the data are interoperable for querying.
