Incorporation of the DePauw University and Wabash College Herbaria into the New York Botanical Garden Herbarium

随着许多规模较小的大学的优先事项发生变化， 学院，包含重要研究收藏的植物标本馆， 包括许多类型和其他历史材料，不再是 对机构有用。 这就变成了 国家的大型植物标本馆，以拯救这些孤儿收藏， 使他们的重要研究材料可用于分类学 在世界各地的研究。 两个这样的标本室刚刚被转移到纽约 植物园 其中之一，杜鲁门G。扬克植物标本馆 DePauw大学，包含约135，000个标本，包括 杜鲁门的重要研究收藏。永克（世界 的权威）和薇诺娜J.韦尔奇（Winona J. Welch （Fontinalaceae and Hookeriaceae的世界权威）。 另一个， 瓦巴什学院植物标本馆，包含约20,000个标本， 包括约翰M.库尔特（以其 研究落基山脉植物群）和海登地质 19世纪70年代对落基山脉的调查。 该项目将提供资金雇用两名临时工 策展助理处理标本， 把它们放进花园的植物标本室

As priorities change at many smaller universities and colleges, herbaria containing important research collections, including many types and other historical material, are no longer useful to the institution. It becomes the responsibility of the nation's large herbaria to rescue these orphaned collections and make their important research material available for taxonomic research throughout the world. Two such herbaria have just been transferred to the New York Botanical Garden. One of these, the Truman G. Yuncker Herbarium of DePauw University, contains ca 135,000 specimens, including the important research collections of Truman F. Yuncker (world authority of Piperaceae and Cuscutaceae) and Winona J. Welch (world authority on Fontinalaceae and Hookeriaceae). The other, the Wabash College Herbarium, contains ca 20,000 specimens, including the collections of John M. Coulter (well known for his work on the Rocky Mountain flora) and the Hayden Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountains in the 1870s. This project will provide funds to hire two temporary curatorial assistants to process the specimens and incorporate them into the Garden's Herbarium.
