[SOS-PCA] Seed Banking, Art and History

[Haidet, Margaret (Megan)]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share a few articles about seed banking, including the some
history of seed banking in modern times as well as the intersection of the
art and conservation. Enjoy!

*A photography exhibit called "Archiving Eden" by Dornith Doherty that will
be on display at the State of the Art exhibit at Arkansas' Crystal Bridges
Museum. Doherty has documented seed banks around the world.*
