Compactorization and Reorganization of the Bryophyte and Lichen Portions of the Farlow Herbarium, Harvard University

9709604 Pfister本项目将提升哈佛大学植物标本馆法洛植物标本馆苔藓和地衣的收藏及其策展管理。FH持有的非维管自养生物和真菌约有1325800个标本，具有世界代表性。其中，440,800种是苔藓植物，约178,000种是地衣。有很高比例的残遗，具有历史意义的和类型的集合。目前，76个苔藓标本钢柜和60个地衣标本钢柜已接近满柜，Farlow大楼已没有空间增加新柜。在这个项目中，将在Farlow建筑的地下室安装一个压实机货架单元系统，那里目前存放着苔藓植物。这些可移动的单元将增加62%的存储容量，并将允许过度拥挤的苔藓植物和地衣植物标本馆的扩展和转移。作为策展工作的改进，两个大型和经常被咨询的苔藓收藏，即巴特拉姆苔藓标本室（约64,000个标本）和一般苔藓标本室（约179,200个标本）将被整合和重组。这个项目是不断努力升级哈佛大学植物标本馆非血管自养生物和真菌收藏的一部分。哈佛大学致力于收集改进，并与美国国家科学基金会分担费用，将资助与压缩相关的主要结构工作所产生的费用。

9709604 Pfister This project will upgrade the bryophyte and lichen collections and their curatorial management at the Farlow Herbarium (FH) of Harvard University Herbaria. The FH holdings of non-vascular autotrophs and fungi amount to about 1,325,800 specimens of worldwide representation. Of these, 440,800 are bryophytes and about 178,000 are lichens. There are high proportions of exsiccatae, and historically significant and type collections. Currently, the 76 steel cabinets for bryophyte specimens and 60 cabinets of the lichen specimens are nearly filled to capacity and there is no space in the Farlow building for the addition of new cabinets. During this project, a system of compactor shelving units will be installed in the basement of the Farlow building where the bryophyte collections are currently housed. These moveable units will increase the storage capacity by 62% and will allow for the expansion and shifting of the overcrowded bryophyte and lichen herbaria. As an improvement in curatorial operations, the two large and frequently consulted moss collections, i.e., the Bartram moss herbarium (about 64,000 specimens) and the general moss herbarium (about 179,200 specimens) will be integrated and reorganized. This project is a part of continuing efforts to upgrade the collections of non-vascular autotrophs and fungi at the Harvard University Herbaria. Harvard University is committed to collection improvement and, as cost-sharing with NSF, will finance the expenses incurred in major structural work associated with compactorization.
