Support for Harvard University Herbaria Service Activities

9631192 Donoghue等。在合作伙伴关系中，哈佛大学和系统学生态学计划的研究收集资助了这个项目，以支持哈佛大学植物标本馆为植物系统学社区提供的服务。 哈佛拥有近5，000，000份植物和真菌标本，沿着图书馆和数据库，是系统和生态研究不可或缺的资源，并被国家和国际植物学界积极使用。 哈佛植物标本馆的工作人员每年处理大约62,000个标本，这些标本是通过向其他机构借出和归还贷款的方式处理的，每年平均有500名科学家访问植物标本馆。 两名策展助理，谁将直接参与贷款和游客计划，将在任期内雇用这个奖项，这也补贴了包装材料和运费贷款的邮政费用。 参观设施将通过购买显微镜和计算机设备得到改善。 哈佛大学将继续提供植物标本馆的大部分基本运营预算，而国家科学基金会和指定的哈佛基金将支持这些藏品的特殊服务活动。

9631192 Donoghue, et al. In partnership, Harvard University and the Research Collections in Systematics & Ecology Program have funded this project to support the services provided to the plant systematics community by the Harvard University Herbaria. Harvard's holdings of nearly 5,000,000 specimens of plants and fungi, along with its libraries and databases, form an indispensable resource for systematic and ecological studies and are actively used by the national and international botanical community. Approximately 62,000 specimens are handled by the Harvard Herbaria staff each year in outgoing and returning loans to other institutions, and an average of 500 scientist visit the Herbaria annually. Two Curatioral Assistants, who will be directly involved in the loan and visitor programs, will be hired during the tenure of this award, which also subsidizes the cost of packing materials and postal charges for shipping loans. Visitor facilities will be improved with the purchase of microscope and computer equipment. Harvard University will continue to proved most of the basic operating budget of the Herbaria while the NSF and earmarked Harvard funds support the exceptional service activities of these collections.
