The George Safford Torrey Herbarium (CONN) was founded on December 31, 1897 as the Herbarium of Storrs Agricultural College. From its initial 121 specimens contributed by Henry Ballou's botany students, it has grown to ca. 200,000 specimens, over 90% of which have digital records and high-resolution images available online. This massive digitization effort was undertaken by a dedicated group of 50 undergraduate students supervised by former Collections Manager Dr. Bob Capers and funded by a 2009 NSF grant.
