The Oregon State University (OSU) Herbarium is a major regional collection of approximately 425,000 specimens of plants and fungi. It is an actively growing and heavily utilized research herbarium, and is the primary resource for the documentation and study of Oregon's diverse plants and fungi. This project will enable the addition of approximately 220,000 lichen specimens permanently transferred from the USDA Forest Service (USFS). These specimens were collected as part of the USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) and Air Resource Management programs. They comprise a unique and voluminous source of data and specimens not available in regular herbarium collections. The extensive, fine-grained sampling framework for the FIA program provides an exceptional basis for species distribution modeling, phylogeography, and measuring biological responses to environmental change. The need to secure these specimens is urgent because they are currently housed in non-archival conditions and are inaccessible to researchers. Incorporating the USFS specimens into the OSU Herbarium will protect them for the future by virtue of OSU's commitment to long-term preservation and use of biological collections. In addition, a popular educational resource developed at OSU for learning about lichens (http://ocid.nacse.org/lichenland) will be revitalized and enhanced as part of this project.To accommodate the USFS lichen collections, 54 steel herbarium cases will be added to the OSU Herbarium. The lichen specimen labels will be photographed in order to capture information that is not maintained in the FIA and Air Resource Management electronic databases. The specimens will then be repackaged in archival materials, organized taxonomically, and integrated into the OSU Herbarium. Specimen label data and images will be made available online via the Consortium of Pacific Northwest Herbaria (http://www.pnwherbaria.org) which is based at the University of Washington Herbarium, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, and with the digitization HUB iDigBio.

俄勒冈州立大学（OSU）植物标本室是大约425,000种植物和真菌标本的主要区域集合。这是一种积极的增长和大量利用的研究植物园，是对俄勒冈州多元化植物和真菌进行文档和研究的主要资源。该项目将使从USDA森林服务局（USFS）永久转移的大约220,000个地衣标本。这些标本是作为USFS森林库存和分析（FIA）和空气资源管理计划的一部分收集的。它们包括常规标本室收集中不可用的数据和标本的独特而大量的来源。国际汽联计划的广泛，细粒度的抽样框架为物种分布建模，植物地理学和衡量对环境变化的生物学反应提供了非凡的基础。确保这些标本的需求是紧迫的，因为它们目前是在非架构条件下容纳的，并且研​​究人员无法访问。将USFS标本纳入OSU植物标本室将通过OSU致力于长期保存和使用生物收藏的承诺来保护它们。此外，作为该项目的一部分，将在OSU开发的一种流行的教育资源（http://ocid.nacse.org/lichenland）。为了容纳USFS Lichen Collections，将添加54种钢制植物标本室的情况。地衣标本将被拍照，以捕获国际汽联和空气资源管理电子数据库中未保留的信息。然后，这些标本将在档案材料中重新包装，分类学组织，并整合到OSU植物标本室中。标本标签数据和图像将通过太平洋西北草本人联盟（http://www.pnwherbaria.org）在线提供，该联盟位于华盛顿植物标本室，伯克大学自然历史和文化博物馆，以及Digitization Idigbio。有关OSU植物标本室和该项目的更多信息，请访问：http：//oregonstate.edu/dept/botany/herbarium。
