A grant has been awarded to Duke University under the direction of Dr. Kathleen Pryer to re-house the herbarium in new cabinets mounted on a mobile storage system. The vascular plant herbarium is currently housed off-site and will be soon re-located to a new facility on campus, with better temperature and humidity control, close by to the Biology Department. The collection is one of the largest from the southeastern United States and has many important specimens from North America and Central America. The new storage facilities and building will allow improved access to the collection by faculty and student researchers. An online database of information on the type specimens will also be constructed, which will make these specimens associated with new species descriptions available to a wide community. The collections are used in teaching, and the new facilities will enhance opportunities for use of the herbarium in coursework.

在凯瑟琳·普莱尔（Kathleen Pryer）博士的指导下，已向杜克大学（Duke University）授予了一笔赠款，以在安装在移动存储系统上的新橱柜中重新设置植物标本室。 血管植物植物标本室目前位于现场，并将很快将其重新安置到校园的新设施，并以更高的温度和湿度控制，靠近生物学部门。 该系列是美国东南部最大的收藏品之一，并具有许多来自北美和中美洲的重要标本。 新的存储设施和建筑物将允许教职员工和学生研究人员改善对该收藏的访问。 还将构建有关类型标本的信息的在线数据库，这将使这些标本与广泛社区可用的新物种描述相关联。 这些收藏量用于教学，新设施将增加在课程中使用植物标本室的机会。
