Australian National Herbarium Images - 69109

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.

本数据集为澳大利亚国家植物标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）馆藏标本的图像集。

澳大利亚国家植物标本馆馆藏约100万份保藏植物标本，是澳大利亚三大核心植物标本馆藏机构之一。其馆藏建设、标本采集与研究项目均以国家层面为核心定位，这使其在澳大利亚各植物标本馆中独具特色。

澳大利亚国家植物标本馆由联邦政府管理的多家标本馆经多年合并整合而成，涵盖数家CSIRO标本馆、林业研究所桉树种质馆藏、林业研究所阿瑟顿雨林馆藏，以及澳大利亚国家植物园标本馆。该馆的核心馆藏此前名为"Herbarium Australiense"，1984年正式更名为"澳大利亚国家植物标本馆"。目前，澳大利亚国家植物标本馆是澳大利亚国家生物多样性研究中心的下设项目，同时也是澳大利亚虚拟植物标本馆的共建参与方。

该馆主馆藏的标本由澳大利亚联邦政府气候变迁、能源、环境与水利部联合开展采集与管理工作；澳大利亚热带植物标本馆的标本则由詹姆斯·库克大学与昆士兰州政府联合采集与管理。

澳大利亚国家植物标本馆兰科植物花解剖卡片馆藏的整理、数据库构建与数字化工作，得到了澳大利亚兰花基金会的资助支持。

数据集溯源：本数据集为澳大利亚国家植物标本馆馆藏图像系列之一。相关图像源于两项工作：一是对全馆馆藏进行系统性数字化的项目，二是针对实体标本馆藏开展的持续成像工作。本次图像集的分组仅以拍摄时段为依据，并非某一分类单元下所有馆藏标本的完整图像列表。

因此，本数据集未必涵盖某一分类单元的全部图像。我们建议通过科学域下的NRCA标本图像检索工具，跨图像数据集搜索以获取特定分类单元的所有相关图像。
