A Proposal to Rehouse the Collections of the Garrett Herbarium, Utah Museum of Natural History

加勒特植物标本室是犹他州自然历史博物馆（UMNH）的一个组成部分，是重要的国家和地区系统资源。它拥有近12万份植物标本，是犹他州第三大植物标本馆，在全球排名前15%。植物标本馆是一个主要的植物标本储存库，其中包括一系列具有历史意义的标本和代金券标本，这些标本具有独特的研究价值。然而，有些标本在现代保护标准认为不可接受的条件下储存在开放式架子上。来自博物馆服务研究所、犹他自然历史博物馆、犹他大学和一个私人捐助者的资金，使植物标本馆的工作人员能够解决一些管理员发现的问题。这个国家科学基金会的项目将通过提供档案用品和学生人员来重新分类许多标本，使这一过程更进一步。

9710038 Windham The Garrett Herbarium, an integral part of the Utah Museum of Natural History (UMNH), is an important national and regional systematics resource. With nearly 120,000 pressed plant specimens, it is the third largest herbarium in Utah, and it ranks in the top 15% worldwide. The herbarium is a major repository for botanical specimens from the diverse and incompletely-explored Intermountain West, and it includes a series of historic collections and voucher specimens that contribute greatly to the unique research value of the collection. However, there are specimens stored on open shelves under conditions that are considered unacceptable by modern conservation standards. Funds from Institute of Museum Services, the Utah Museum of Natural History, the University of Utah, and a private donor have allowed the herbarium staff to address some of the problems identified by conservators. This NSF project will take this process another step by providing archival supplies and student personnel to re-folder many of the specimens.
