Computerization of the Humboldt State University Vascular Plant Herbarium.The collection of dried, mounted plant specimens held in the Humboldt State University Vascular Plant Herbarium provides the most complete and up-to-date documentation of the flora of the Klamath Bioregion. This region, encompassing the corners of northwest California and southwest Oregon, is one of the richest botanical areas in western North America with 3,500 species, and yet remains poorly documented and explored. This project will employ undergraduate students over a three year period to enter habitat and geographical data from the ~ 90,000 herbarium specimens into an on-line searchable database. The specimen records will then be incorporated into larger databases maintained by the Consortium of California Herbaria and the Consortium of Pacific Northwest Herbaria, and made available to the public via their existing web portals.On-line access to our specimen data will be invaluable to the state and federal biologists who monitor the many rare and endangered plants indigenous to the extensive public lands of the Klamath Bioregion. Specimen data will also assist those engaged in tracking and curtailing the spread of potentially harmful exotic species. Because most these specimens are not duplicated at larger herbaria, resource managers will now have access to critical information regarding the geographical distribution and habitat preferences of this region?s diverse flora.

洪堡州立大学维管植物标本馆的计算机化。洪堡州立大学维管植物标本馆收集的干燥、固定的植物标本提供了克拉马斯生物区植物群最完整和最新的文献资料。 这个地区，包括西北部的加州和西南部的俄勒冈州的角落，是北美西部最丰富的植物区之一，有3,500种，但仍然很少记录和探索。 该项目将在三年内雇用本科生将约90，000个植物标本的栖息地和地理数据输入到一个在线搜索数据库中。 标本记录将被纳入由加州草本植物协会和太平洋西北草本植物协会维护的更大的数据库，并通过其现有的门户网站向公众提供。在线访问我们的标本数据将是非常宝贵的国家和联邦生物学家谁监测许多稀有和濒危植物本土的广泛的公共土地的克拉马斯生物区。 标本数据还将有助于那些从事跟踪和遏制潜在有害外来物种传播的人。 因为大多数这些标本没有在较大的标本馆复制，资源管理人员现在将有机会获得有关该地区的地理分布和栖息地偏好的关键信息？这是一个多样化的植物群。
