项目摘要

The purpose of our project is to digitize (i.e., image and database) botanical research specimens at nearly twenty university, college, and federal agency herbaria in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Vascular plant, moss, lichen, and fungal specimens will be included in the project. Once digitized, we will place these records online for the public through an existing Web portal (http://www.pnwherbaria.org). We are leveraging the cyberinfrastructure (e.g., Ethernet, servers, technical staff) available at several large universities to build partnerships with smaller institutions that otherwise would not have the resources to undertake this activity.Our project provides tangible benefits to the general public, undergraduate students, and the research community. Digitizing specimens and making them available online creates public access to collections that have been assembled in part through prior federal funding. The specimen data will be downloadable from the Web site, so anyone can use the information to pursue unique interests and questions. Undergraduate students will be involved extensively with imaging and data basing activities, providing them with skills and training applicable to future professional pursuits. Online availability of nearly 2 million Pacific Northwest herbarium specimens will increase access and efficiency for the research community using these collections.

我们项目的目的是将近二十大学，大学和联邦代理机构Herbaria的植物研究标本数字化（即图像和数据库）数字化。该项目将包括血管植物，苔藓，地衣和真菌标本。数字化后，我们将通过现有的Web门户（http://www.pnwherbaria.org）在线将这些记录在线为公众放置。我们正在利用几所大型大学提供的网络基础设施（例如，以太网，服务器，技术人员）与较小的机构建立伙伴关系，否则这些机构将没有资源来进行这项活动。我们的项目为普通公众，少年学生和研究社区提供了切实的收益。数字化标本并使其在线提供，可以公开访问已通过以前的联邦资金来部分组装的收藏品。样品数据将可以从网站下载，因此任何人都可以使用这些信息来追求独特的兴趣和问题。本科生将广泛参与成像和数据填充活动，从而为他们提供适用于未来专业追求的技能和培训。使用这些收藏品的在线供应量将近200万太平洋西北植物标本室标本将提高研究界的访问和效率。
