Bringing Schuster, Standley and Co. Into the Third Millenium: The Field Museum's 180K Bryophyte and Lichen Conversion & Digitization Project

菲尔德自然历史博物馆（Field Museum of Natural History）在马特·冯·康拉特（Matt von Konrat）的指导下，获得了一项奖励，将18万份苔藓植物和地衣标本从植物标本馆转化为档案储存包，这将更好地保护和保存标本，供研究之用。菲尔德博物馆的苔藓植物收藏是最大和最重要的科学收藏之一，该项目将迫切解决将小型植物标本安装在大型植物标本馆所带来的储存问题。除了将标本重新安置在更好的容器中之外，该项目还将从标本标签中获取数据，以便将其纳入一个可在线搜索的数据库。该项目将涉及大量大学生作为实习生，以及一名高中生，他们都将参与安置和数据库工作。

An award has been made to the Field Museum of Natural History under the direction of Matt von Konrat to convert 180,000 specimens of bryophytes and lichens from herbarium sheets to archival storage packets, which will better protect and preserve the specimens for research. The collection of bryophytes at the Field Museum is one of the largest and most significant scientifically, and this project will urgently address storage problems posed by having specimens of small plants mounted on larger herbarium sheets. In addition to re-housing the specimens in better containers, the project will capture data from specimen labels for inclusion in an online, searchable database. The project will involve a large number of college students as interns, as well as a high school student, all of whom will participate in the re-housing and database work.
