This project will bring together representatives from the herbarium (plant museum) community along with affiliated computer scientists and information technologists to develop a national plan to make information available from this group. The group will focus on establishing community best practices to acquire information, to use this information and to disseminate the information to the public. Curators will develop a sustainable plan to mobilize the community and seek funds to meet community goals. The herbarium community has four main long term goals: 1) digitize all herbarium collections in the country by the year 2020, 2) enhance research, teaching and service potentials of herbarium curators and affiliates, 3) recruit students from underrepresented groups to careers in the herbarium sciences, to provide a continuing brain trust in the 21st century, and 4) provide information to the public, K-12 teachers and students, college and university faculty and students, scientists, corporations and decision-makers in effective and useful formats. The herbarium community offers a tremendous potential database for systematists, ecologists, climatologists, and evolutionary biologists. This meeting will nationalize ongoing efforts and integrate local and regional progress to provide herbarium data at a continental scale through the United States Virtual Herbarium.

该项目将汇集植物标本馆（植物博物馆）社区的代表以及附属计算机科学家和信息技术专家，制定一项国家计划，以提供该小组的信息。该小组将重点关注建立社区最佳实践来获取信息、使用这些信息并向公众传播这些信息。策展人将制定可持续计划来动员社区并寻求资金来实现社区目标。植物标本馆社区有四个主要的长期目标：1）到 2020 年将全国所有植物标本馆藏品数字化，2）增强植物标本馆馆长和附属机构的研究、教学和服务潜力，3）从代表性不足的群体中招募学生从事植物标本馆科学职业，为 21 世纪提供持续的智囊团，4）向公众、K-12 教师和学生、学院和大学提供信息 以有效且有用的形式向教师和学生、科学家、企业和决策者提供信息。植物标本馆社区为系统学家、生态学家、气候学家和进化生物学家提供了一个巨大的潜在数据库。 这次会议将把正在进行的努力国有化，并整合地方和区域进展，通过美国虚拟植物标本馆提供大陆范围的植物标本馆数据。
