Australian National Herbarium Images - 62391

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.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植物标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）所藏标本的图像集合。

澳大利亚国家植物标本馆馆藏约100万份保藏植物标本，是澳大利亚三大植物标本馆藏机构之一。其馆藏、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多年来整合多家标本馆馆藏发展而来，涵盖澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（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"澳大利亚国家植物标本馆"。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植物标本馆的共建参与方之一。

主馆藏的标本由澳大利亚联邦政府气候变化、能源、环境与水资源部联合采集与管理；而澳大利亚热带植物标本馆的馆藏，则由詹姆斯·库克大学与昆士兰州政府联合完成采集与管理工作。

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。这些图像源自两项工作：一是对全馆标本进行系统性数字化的项目，二是对实体标本的持续性拍摄工作。本次图像分组仅以拍摄时间为划分依据，并非对应某一分类单元的全部馆藏标本。

有鉴于此，本数据集未必涵盖某一分类单元的全部图像。我们推荐通过科学域下的NRCA标本图像检索工具，跨图像数据集进行搜索，以获取特定分类单元的全部相关图像。
