The digitization of herbarium collections is greatly transforming plant biodiversity science, yet most herbarium data remain inaccessible. Here, we present a novel, single‐user photostation and associated workflow for efficiently mobilizing herbarium specimens. Our apparatus represents a significant improvement to existing technology and is scalable to a variety of digitization tasks from small to massive collections.
