Australian National Herbarium Images - 69718

This collection is a set of images of specimens held at the Australian National Herbarium.\n\nThe Australian National Herbarium, with approximately 1 million preserved plant specimens, is one of the three largest plant collections in Australia. It is unique among the Australian Herbaria in having a national focus for its collections, acquisition and research programs.\n\nThe Australian National Herbarium arose from the amalgamation over the years of several herbaria managed by the Commonwealth Government. These included several CSIRO herbaria, the Forest Research Institute Eucalypt Collection, the Forest Research Institute's Atherton Rainforest Collection, and the Australian National Botanic Gardens Herbarium. The CSIRO's core collection, previously known as 'Herbarium Australiense', was renamed 'Australian National Herbarium' in 1984. The Australian National Herbarium is a program of the Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research and a contributor to Australia's Virtual Herbarium.\n\nSpecimens within the main collection have been collected and managed as a joint venture with the Australian Government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. Specimens from the Australian Tropical Herbarium have been collected and managed as a joint venture with James Cook University and the Queensland Government.\n\nThe curation, databasing and digitisation of the ANH Orchidaceae floral dissection card collection was supported by funding from the Australian Orchid Foundation.\nLineage: This dataset is one of a series holding images from the Australian National Herbarium collection. These images were taken as part of a systematic project digitising the whole Herbarium collection or ongoing imaging of the physical specimen collection, and this grouping of images is arbitrary based on the time period the images were taken, it is not a comprehensive list of all the specimens available in a taxon.\n\nAs such, this dataset may not include all images from a particular taxon and we recommend the NRCA specimen image search under Scientific Domains which can be used to search across the image datasets to find all images from a specific taxon.

本数据集收录了澳大利亚国家标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）馆藏标本的图像集合。

澳大利亚国家标本馆拥有约100万份保存完好的植物标本，是澳大利亚三大植物标本收藏机构之一。其在收藏、采集及研究项目上均以全国范围为核心，这一特点使其在澳大利亚各标本馆中独树一帜。

澳大利亚国家标本馆源于多年来联邦政府管理的多个标本馆的合并，包括若干CSIRO标本馆、森林研究所桉树标本收藏、森林研究所阿瑟顿雨林收藏以及澳大利亚国家植物园标本馆。CSIRO的核心收藏原名为“Herbarium Australiense”，于1984年更名为“澳大利亚国家标本馆”。该标本馆是澳大利亚国家生物多样性研究中心的项目之一，同时也是澳大利亚虚拟标本馆的贡献方。

主收藏中的标本由澳大利亚政府气候变化、能源、环境与水利部合作采集与管理。澳大利亚热带标本馆的标本则由詹姆斯·库克大学与昆士兰州政府合作采集与管理。

澳大利亚国家标本馆（ANH）兰科植物花解剖卡片收藏的整理、数据库构建及数字化工作得到了澳大利亚兰花基金会的资金支持。

数据溯源：本数据集是澳大利亚国家标本馆馆藏图像系列之一。这些图像是全馆标本系统化数字化项目或实体标本持续成像工作的一部分，图像分组仅基于拍摄时间段，并非某一分类群（taxon）下所有可用标本的完整清单。

因此，本数据集可能未涵盖某一分类群的所有图像，建议使用NRCA科学领域下的标本图像检索功能，该功能可跨图像数据集搜索特定分类群的全部图像。
