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

9710038温德姆的加勒特植物标本馆，自然历史（UMNH）的犹他州博物馆的一个组成部分，是一个重要的国家和地区的系统资源。拥有近120，000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库，来自多样化和未完全探索的山间西部，它包括一系列历史收藏品和凭证标本，大大有助于收藏品的独特研究价值。然而，有标本储存在开放的货架上的条件下，被认为是不可接受的现代保护标准。来自博物馆服务研究所、犹他州自然历史博物馆、犹他州大学和一位私人捐助者的资金使标本馆的工作人员能够解决保护人员发现的一些问题。这个国家科学基金会的项目将采取这一进程的另一个步骤，通过提供档案用品和学生人员重新文件夹的许多标本。

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.
