Curatorial Support for University and Jepson Herbaria

加州大学伯克利分校的大学和杰普森·赫巴里亚(UC/JEPS)是美国第六大植物标本馆，也是公立大学中最大的标本馆。目前持有的标本总数约为170万件。加州大学/杰普斯大学拥有世界上最好的加州植物、太平洋南美藻类、菲律宾植物和南非藻类的收藏品。在过去五年中，UC/JEPS得到了国家科学基金会的支持，为藏品提供更多的储藏箱，并协助管理积压的未处理藏品。加州大学伯克利分校正在重组生物学，并为生物科学提供新的设施和建筑。作为这项重组的一部分，UC/JEP将迁往临时住所。在临时宿舍逗留期间，UC/JEP将继续处理积压的标本，升级其存储设施，并准备搬回伯克利校区翻新的空间。该项目将提供资金，继续管理植物和维管植物的积压。在这两种情况下，标本都将被处理，以纳入永久收藏品、交换或作为确定的礼物。将支助两名实验室帮手协助完成与准备标签、标本分类、收藏归档以及转移收藏和档案有关的技术任务。此外，还将提供资金购买标本箱，以扩大16%的储存空间。

The University and Jepson Herbaria (UC/JEPS) at the University of California at Berkeley is the sixth largest herbarium in the United States and the largest at a public university. Current holdings total approximately 1.7 million specimens. UC/JEPS holds the world's best collections of California plants, Pacific South American algae, Philippine plants and South African algae. UC/JEPS has been supported by the National Science Foundation during the past five years to provide additional storage cases for the collections and to assist in the curation of the backlog of unprocessed collections. The University of California at Berkeley is in the process of reorganizing biology and providing new facilities and buildings for the biological sciences. As part of this reorganization UC/JEPS will be moving to temporary quarters. During the stay in temporary quarters, UC/JEPS will continue to work on processing its backlog of specimens, upgrading its storage facilities, and preparing for the move back into renovated space on the Berkeley campus. This project will provide funds to continue curation of the phycological and vascular plant backlogs. In both cases specimens will be processed for incorporation into the permanent collection, for exchange, or as gifts for determination. Two Lab Helpers will be supported to assist with technical tasks associated with preparation of labels, sorting of specimens, filing of collections, and moving the collections and archives. Funds will also be provided for the purchase of herbarium cases to provide a 16% expansion in storage space.
