Willard Sherman Turrell Herbarium Improvement

摘要迈阿密大学和威拉德·谢尔曼·特雷尔标本馆将购买新的标本标本箱，并2)雇用相当于研究生的教员来处理和整理(包括条形码)1994年作为礼物、遗赠、孤儿收藏和积压获得的大约105,000个标本。该项目将通过购买70个草药盒来提高草药的功能，其中45个药盒是对超过其使用寿命且状况恶劣，危及这些盒中收藏的收藏品的替换。25个新病例将完成目前的标本馆设施，以便加工和镶嵌大约105,000个标本。购买新的标本馆还将使标本馆得以完全重组，使其成为迈阿密大学教职员工和学生以及大量参观者和借阅者更方便教学和研究的设施。预计完成收集的插入和重组将更好地服务于环境和养护社区，这取决于收集和相关数据在俄亥俄州内外制定各种管理战略的过程中的重要性。一旦标本被加工并插入到标本馆中，它将被列为俄亥俄州最大的标本馆设施。该藏品将特别有价值，因为它将代表美国中西部任何一所大学的主要非维管植物保有量之一，拥有约180,000份藻类、苔藓和真菌标本，以及约260,000份维管植物样本。该标本馆的真菌收藏将跻身美国大学十大真菌收藏之列。这一项目是近期藏品计算机化的必要前奏。

ABSTRACT Miami University and the Willard Sherman Turrell Herbarium will purchase new herbarium cases and 2) employ graduate teaching fellow equivalents to process and curate (including barcoding) approximately 105,000 specimens acquired as gifts, bequests, orphan collections and backlog during 1994. The project will upgrade the herbmum faclity by the acquisition of seventy herbmum cases, forty five of which represent replacements for cases that have exceeded their useful life and are in such poor condition as to jeopardize the collections housed in those cases. Twenty-five new cases will complete the current herbarium facility and to allow for the processing and intercalation of approximately 105,000 specimens. Acquiring new herbarium cases will also allow for the total reorganization of the Herbarium so that it is a more user friendly facility for both teaching and research by faculty and students at Miami University as well as a significant visitor and borrower population. It is anticipated that the completion of intercalation and reorganization of the collection will better serve the environmental and conservation community that depends of the collection and associated data in the development of various management strategies both within and outside the state of Ohio. Once the specimens have been processed and intercalmed into the Herbarium it will be ranked as the largest herbarium facility in the state of Ohio. The collection will be especially valuable because it will represent one of the major non-vascular plant holdings in any university in the mid-western United States with approximately 180,000 algal, bryological and mycological specimens and approximately another 260,000 vascular plant specimens. The herbarium's mycological collection will be among the ten largest in a university setting in the United States. This project is a necessary prelude to computerization of the collection in the near future.
