9710038 Windham The Garrett Herbarium, an integral part of the Utah Museum of Natural History (UMNH), is an important national and regional systematics resource. With nearly 120,000 pressed plant specimens, it is the third largest herbarium in Utah, and it ranks in the top 15% worldwide. The herbarium is a major repository for botanical specimens from the diverse and incompletely-explored Intermountain West, and it includes a series of historic collections and voucher specimens that contribute greatly to the unique research value of the collection. However, there are specimens stored on open shelves under conditions that are considered unacceptable by modern conservation standards. Funds from Institute of Museum Services, the Utah Museum of Natural History, the University of Utah, and a private donor have allowed the herbarium staff to address some of the problems identified by conservators. This NSF project will take this process another step by providing archival supplies and student personnel to re-folder many of the specimens.

9710038温德姆加勒特植物标本室是犹他州自然历史博物馆（UMNH）的组成部分，是重要的国家和地区系统资源。它是近120,000台紧迫的植物标本，是犹他州第三大植物标本室，在全球范围内排名前15％。植物标本室是来自多样化且未经完全爆炸的Intermountains West的植物标本的主要存储库，其中包括一系列历史性收藏品和代金券标本，对该系列的独特研究价值做出了巨大贡献。但是，在现代保护标准被认为是无法接受的条件下，有一些标本存储在空旷的货架上。博物馆服务研究所，犹他州自然历史博物馆，犹他大学和私人捐助者的资金允许植物园工作人员解决保护者发现的一些问题。 NSF项目将通过提供档案用品和学生人员来重新配备许多标本，从而迈出这一过程。
