A grant has been awarded to the University of Southern Mississippi under the direction of Dr. Mac H. Alford, to repair and re-house approximately 10,000 plant specimens damaged by flood waters caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The grant is a collaborative award with the University of Mississippi, the University of South Alabama, and Louisiana State University. Four senior personnel are involved: Alford, Lucille McCook (Univ. Miss.), Kelly Major (Univ. South Alabama), and Diane Ferguson (LSU). Each institution requests funds for work to repair damage from water and mold to the 10,000 specimens in the herbarium. The investigators have salvaged specimens and frozen them in preparation for repair work. Specimens and labels will be thawed, brushed of mold if necessary, and remounted to new paper. New herbarium cases will be purchased to replace those damaged by flooding, and for supplies to re-mount specimens. All of the institutions will employ undergraduate students to help with the restoration work. Students will be recruited from underrepresented groups.

在Mac H. Alford博士的指导下，已授予了南密西西比大学的一笔赠款，以修复和重新建筑于2005年由卡特里娜飓风造成的洪水损坏的约10,000个植物标本。这笔赠款是与密西西比大学的南阿拉巴马大学和路易斯安那州州立大学的密西西比大学的合作奖。 涉及四名高级人员：Alford，Lucille McCook（Univ。Iss。），Kelly Major（南阿拉巴马州）和Diane Ferguson（LSU）。每个机构都要求资金用于修复从水和霉菌造成的损坏到植物标本室的10,000个标本。 研究人员已经挽救了标本，并将其冻结为准备维修工作。标本和标签将被解冻，必要时用霉菌刷，然后重新安装新纸。将购买新的标本室案例，以取代洪水损坏的案例，并为重新装满标本的物资造成的损坏。 所有机构将雇用本科生来帮助修复工作。学生将从代表性不足的群体中招募。
