The West Virginia University Herbarium contains over 150,000 plant specimens. The collection was started in 1889 and has steadily increased since then. It has the most complete collection in the world of West Virginia vascular plants. The collection is stored in metal cabinets that were not designed as herbarium cases, resulting over the years in consistent and continuing damage to the specimens. This, in addition to heavy use in research, in preparation of the Flora of West Virginia and in extensive loan activity, leaves the collection badly in need of renovation. This project will provide funds to purchase modern herbarium specimens to re-house the collection. The University of West Virginia will provide salary support for recuration of the collection as cost sharing on the project.

西弗吉尼亚大学植物标本馆有超过15万种植物标本。收藏始于1889年，从那时起稳步增加。它拥有世界上最完整的西弗吉尼亚州维管植物收藏。这些藏品被储存在金属橱柜里，这些橱柜没有被设计成植物标本室，多年来，这些标本一直受到持续的破坏。除了大量用于研究、编写《西弗吉尼亚植物志》和广泛的出借活动之外，这些藏书也急需翻新。该项目将提供资金购买现代植物标本馆标本，以重新安置馆藏。西弗吉尼亚大学将为重新收藏提供工资支持，作为项目的成本分摊。
