Australian National Herbarium Images - 65924

This collection is a set of images of specimens held at the Australian National Herbarium.The 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.The 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.Specimens 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.The curation, databasing and digitisation of the ANH Orchidaceae floral dissection card collection was supported by funding from the Australian Orchid Foundation.Lineage: 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.As 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标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）馆藏标本的图像合集。

澳大利亚国家标本馆馆藏约100万份植物腊叶标本，是澳大利亚三大植物标本馆藏机构之一。其在澳大利亚各标本馆中独具特色，以国家级定位开展馆藏建设、标本征集与科研项目。

澳大利亚国家标本馆由联邦政府多年来整合多家标本馆合并而成，涵盖澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation，简称CSIRO）下属多家标本馆、林业研究所桉树标本馆藏、林业研究所阿瑟顿雨林标本馆藏，以及澳大利亚国家植物园标本馆。此前被称为‘Herbarium Australiense’的CSIRO核心馆藏，于1984年正式更名为澳大利亚国家标本馆。该馆隶属于澳大利亚国家生物多样性研究中心，同时也是澳大利亚虚拟标本馆的共建参与方。

主馆藏标本由澳大利亚政府气候变迁、能源、环境与水利部联合征集与管理；澳大利亚热带标本馆的馆藏标本则由詹姆斯·库克大学与昆士兰州政府联合征集与管理。

ANH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标本馆馆藏图像系列之一。这些图像源于对全馆标本进行系统性数字化的项目，或是对实体标本馆藏的持续拍摄工作；本组图像仅按拍摄时间进行随机分组，并非某一分类群下所有馆藏标本的完整图像集合。

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