纽约植物园植物标本馆是一个国家分类学研究资源中心，是美国最大的植物和真菌标本库。它是一个巨大的，积极管理的，集中使用的600万个标本，代表了所有的植物和真菌群，是世界范围内的。由于馆藏的规模和丰富性，纽约植物园植物标本室成为世界各地植物研究的主要研究资料来源。几乎所有对美洲和旧大陆部分地区植物的主要分类修订都包括对存放在纽约植物园植物标本室的标本的检查。纽约图书馆的植物标本室比世界上任何其他的植物标本室都经常借出更多的标本。在过去五年中，平均每年送出46529件标本（643件外借）。其中27.5%为学生研究，72.5%为专业研究人员研究；维管植物占68.4%，非维管植物占31.6%。在同一时期，来自62个国家和美国42个州的1124名访问研究人员花了10529天使用这些藏品。除了提供贷款和现场服务外，NYBG还通过互联网提供有关其标本的数据。NYBG植物标本馆收藏了所有种类的植物和真菌，是世界各地专业和学生研究人员的重要资源。该项目将包括以下方面的协助：1)将借来的标本发送给其他机构的研究人员，并在他们返回时重新归档；2)促进访问研究人员对纽约植物园标本的研究；3)满足学术用户对纽约植物园标本保存的数据或样本的合理要求；4)请求和接收来自其他植物标本馆的标本，供访问纽约植物园的研究人员研究。

The New York Botanical Garden Herbarium, a National Systematics Research Resource Center, is the country's largest repository of plant and fungal specimens. It is a vast, actively managed, and intensively used collection of 6,000,000 specimens representing all plant and fungal groups and is worldwide in scope. Because of the size and richness of the collection, the NYBG Herbarium serves as a primary source of research materials for botanical studies throughout the world. Virtually all major taxonomic revisions of plants of the Americas and parts of the Old World include examination of specimens deposited in the NYBG Herbarium. The NYBG Herbarium regularly sends more specimens on loan than any other herbarium in the world. An average of 46,529 specimens (643 loans) were sent out in each of the last five years. Of these 27.5% were sent for study by students and 72.5% for study by professional researchers; 68.4% were specimens of vascular plants and 31.6% were of non-vascular plants. During the same period, 1124 visiting researchers from 62 foreign countries and 42 states of the U.S.A spent 10,529 days using the collection. In addition to providing loans and on-site services, NYBG provides data about its specimens via the internet. The NYBG Herbarium collections, of all groups of plants and fungi, are an essential resource to professional and student researchers throughout the world. This project will include assistance for 1) sending specimens on loan to researchers at other institutions and refiling them upon their return, 2) facilitating studies of specimens at NYBG by visiting researchers, 3) fulfilling reasonable requests from academic users for data or samples from specimens housed at NYBG,and 4) requesting and receiving loans of specimens from other herbaria for study by researchers visiting NYBG.
