Why This Library Exists
High-resolution data with documentation
Every record ships with the resolution, calibration data, and DOI needed to use it in a paper, a lab, or a classroom.
For research
Archival packages preserve fine structure for morphometrics, visual analysis, and long-term reference use.
For the classroom
Photos, cleaned specimen media, and practical derivatives drop into labs, lectures, field guides, and extension materials.
For citation
Published records and supporting files go out through Zenodo with stable DOIs and open licensing.

What Is IFML?
The Iowa Forestry Media Library (IFML) is an open-access digital archive for forestry media and supporting resources including high-resolution scans, field and specimen photos, datasets, SOPs, toolkits, and related documentation.
High-fidelity digitization remains a major part of the project, with capture workflows reaching up to 2400 DPI when needed for detailed structures. Published materials are paired with clear documentation so they are easier to reuse in research, teaching, extension, and workflow development.
Depending on the record, IFML may provide Access Packages, Archival Packages, datasets, or supporting files released through Zenodo with stable DOIs and open licensing.
