Abstract

The Hill Annex Paleontology Project is a citizen science effort researching the Cretaceous soils of Minnesota. During the past year, this project has transferred between institutional hosts, moving from the Science Museum of Minnesota to the Minnesota Discovery Center. Join us in reviewing the changes and challenges to our program as a result of this transition. New boundaries and possibilities await as the project realigns to its new home. All facets of the project will undergo change from volunteer staffing, to budget funding, to collection management.
