In Spring 2021, 18 students in ST237 History of Biology at Colby College worked with Professor Lijing Jiang and each other to develop a virtual exhibit about the history of biology at Colby College and in Maine. They examined documents in the College’s special collections, read scientific and college publications, viewed object collections at the Biology Department, and interviewed faculty members at Colby and elsewhere. This website shares some results of their research, including historical objects and documents and the stories behind them. It also provides an archive of their final research papers detailing their findings.
