A grant has been awarded to Youngstown State University under the direction of Dr. Carl Chuey to upgrade the storage cabinetry of the herbarium of the university. This collection of more than 87, 000 specimens will replace older and inadequate storage cabinets currently in use and protect the collection for use in education and teaching. The new equipment will enlarge the crowded storage conditions that currently hamper specimen care. The collection contains many important historical specimens of vascular plants and bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and other so-called lower plants) including some of the first botanical collections in the Ohio region from the beginning of the 1900s. The herbarium contains plant specimens from all 50 states of the U.S., as well as most Canadian provinces and other areas of the world. Students are actively involved in caring for the collection and entering ecological and identification data into a database. Selected specimens are used in classes on plant diversity and field biology. This grant for storage infrastructure will safeguard the collection for the future.

在卡尔·崔博士的指导下，扬斯敦州立大学获得了一笔赠款，用于升级该大学标本馆的储藏柜。这个超过8.7万件标本的收集将取代目前使用的旧的和不够用的储藏柜，并保护收集的标本用于教育和教学。新设备将扩大目前阻碍标本护理的拥挤存储条件。该藏品包含许多重要的维管植物和苔藓植物(苔藓、苔藓和其他所谓的低等植物)的历史标本，包括自20世纪初以来俄亥俄地区的一些首批植物学标本。该标本馆包含来自美国所有50个州以及加拿大大部分省份和世界其他地区的植物标本。学生们积极参与收集工作，并将生态和鉴定数据输入数据库。精选的标本用于植物多样性和野外生物学的课程。这笔用于存储基础设施的拨款将为未来的收藏提供保障。
