Family Primulaceae in Digital Herbaria of CSBG SB RAS (NS)

The first herbarium at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSBG), was organized in 1946. Now there are two herbarium collections with their own acronyms and registrations in the Index Herbariorum: M.G. Popov Herbarium (NSK) and I.M. Krasnoborov Herbarium (NS). Approximately 800,000 herbarium specimens of higher vascular plants, mosses, lichens and fungi collected in Siberia, Russian Far East, Europe, Asia and North America are stored in NSK and NS.

Digitization of the higher vascular plants at 600 dpi was initiated in 2014 using a special scanner, Herbscan, starting with type specimens. In 2017 a new research group “USU-Herbarium” was organized in CSBG for the digitization and management of herbarium collections. Herbarium specimens are being digitized using three customized scanners: Herbscan and two ObjectScan 1600, according international standarts at 600 dpi, with barcode, 24-color scale and scale bar. Images and metadata are stored in the CSBG Database (http://84.237.85.99:8081) generated by ScanWizard Botany and MiVapp Botany software (Microtek, Taiwan).

中央西伯利亚植物园，俄罗斯科学院西伯利亚分院（CSBG）的首个植物标本馆于1946年组建。目前，该植物园拥有两个独立的植物标本馆，分别拥有其自身的缩写和《植物标本馆索引》中的注册信息：M.G. Popov 植物标本馆（NSK）与 I.M. Krasnoborov 植物标本馆（NS）。约80万份西伯利亚、俄罗斯远东、欧洲、亚洲及北美洲的高等维管植物、苔藓、地衣和真菌标本被保存在 NSK 与 NS 中。

2014年，采用特制扫描仪 Herbscan，以类型标本为起点，启动了对高等维管植物的数字化工作，分辨率达到600 dpi。2017年，在CSBG组建了一个新的研究小组“USU-Herbarium”，负责植物标本馆的数字化与管理。植物标本的数字化工作使用三台定制扫描仪进行：Herbscan 和两台 ObjectScan 1600，遵循国际标准，分辨率达到600 dpi，并附带条形码、24色阶及比例尺。图像和元数据存储于由 ScanWizard Botany 和 MiVapp Botany 软件（Microtek，台湾）生成的 CSBG 数据库（http://84.237.85.99:8081）中。
