9709604 Pfister This project will upgrade the bryophyte and lichen collections and their curatorial management at the Farlow Herbarium (FH) of Harvard University Herbaria. The FH holdings of non-vascular autotrophs and fungi amount to about 1,325,800 specimens of worldwide representation. Of these, 440,800 are bryophytes and about 178,000 are lichens. There are high proportions of exsiccatae, and historically significant and type collections. Currently, the 76 steel cabinets for bryophyte specimens and 60 cabinets of the lichen specimens are nearly filled to capacity and there is no space in the Farlow building for the addition of new cabinets. During this project, a system of compactor shelving units will be installed in the basement of the Farlow building where the bryophyte collections are currently housed. These moveable units will increase the storage capacity by 62% and will allow for the expansion and shifting of the overcrowded bryophyte and lichen herbaria. As an improvement in curatorial operations, the two large and frequently consulted moss collections, i.e., the Bartram moss herbarium (about 64,000 specimens) and the general moss herbarium (about 179,200 specimens) will be integrated and reorganized. This project is a part of continuing efforts to upgrade the collections of non-vascular autotrophs and fungi at the Harvard University Herbaria. Harvard University is committed to collection improvement and, as cost-sharing with NSF, will finance the expenses incurred in major structural work associated with compactorization.

9709604 Pfister该项目将提升哈佛大学植物标本馆法洛植物标本馆（FH）的苔藓和地衣收藏及其策展管理。FH拥有的非维管自养生物和真菌的数量约为1，325，800个标本，在世界范围内具有代表性。其中，440，800种是苔藓植物，约178，000种是地衣。有高比例的exsiccatae，和历史上重要的和类型的集合。目前，76个用于标本的钢柜和60个地衣标本柜已接近饱和，法洛大楼没有空间增加新的柜。在该项目期间，将在法洛大楼的地下室安装一个压缩机搁架系统，目前收藏的britte收藏品就在那里。这些可移动的单元将增加62%的存储容量，并将允许扩展和转移过度拥挤的苔藓和地衣植物标本馆。作为策展操作的一种改进，两个大型和经常咨询的苔藓收藏，即，巴特拉姆苔藓标本馆（约64，000个标本）和一般苔藓标本馆（约179，200个标本）将被整合和重组。该项目是继续努力升级哈佛大学植物标本馆的非维管自养生物和真菌收藏的一部分。哈佛大学致力于收集改进，并与国家科学基金会分摊费用，将资助与自动化有关的主要结构工作所产生的费用。
