The Herbarium Pacificum is the world's most important resource for botanical collections representing Hawaii and the Pacific, particularly Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. It is, without question, the best collection of the flora of the Hawaiian Islands. This representation of the unique flora of the Hawaiian Islands stands as the most central and vital resource for conservation and biodiversity studies in these islands. This project will provide support for the expansion of Herbarium Pacificum into an additional facility of approximately 1320 sq.ft. That space will be equipped with a compactor system and cases, and the entire algal, moss, fungal and lichen collections of Herbarium Pacificum, as well as the special collection of Pandanus (screw pine) that is now scattered in three separate locations, will be moved into the cases. these changes will relieve present crowding of the collections of flowering plants and ferns in the main herbarium by expanding them some 33%. Finally, the flowering plant, algal, Pandanus and fungal collections will be brought into a fully curated condition.

太平洋植物标本馆是世界上最重要的代表夏威夷和太平洋地区植物收藏的资源，特别是波利尼西亚、密克罗尼西亚和美拉尼西亚。 毫无疑问，它是夏威夷群岛植物群的最佳收藏。 这种夏威夷群岛独特植物群的代表是这些岛屿保护和生物多样性研究最核心和最重要的资源。 该项目将为 Herbarium Pacificum 扩建为约 1320 平方英尺的额外设施提供支持。 该空间将配备压实系统和箱子，太平洋植物标本室的整个藻类、苔藓、真菌和地衣收藏品，以及目前分散在三个不同地点的露兜树（螺旋松）的特殊收藏品，将被移入箱子中。 这些变化将扩大约 33%，从而缓解主植物标本馆目前开花植物和蕨类植物收藏的拥挤状况。 最后，开花植物、藻类、露兜树和真菌收藏品将进入完全精心策划的状态。
