Australian National Herbarium Images - 69622

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）所藏标本的图像集合。

澳大利亚国家标本馆馆藏约100万份保藏植物标本，为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，馆藏、采集与研究项目均以国家层面为核心导向。

澳大利亚国家标本馆由联邦政府管理的多家标本馆历经多年合并整合而成，其中包含数家CSIRO下属标本馆、森林研究所桉树标本馆藏、森林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。此前名为"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（Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research），同时也是澳大利亚虚拟标本馆（Australia's Virtual Herbarium）的共建成员之一。

主馆藏的标本由澳大利亚联邦政府气候变化、能源、环境与水利部联合采集并管理；澳大利亚热带标本馆（Australian Tropical Herbarium）的标本则由詹姆斯·库克大学（James Cook University）与昆士兰州政府联合采集与管护。

澳大利亚国家标本馆（ANH，Australian National Herbarium）兰科（Orchidaceae）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（Australian Orchid Foundation）的资助。

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。这批图像源于两项系统性工作：一是全馆标本数字化项目，二是实体标本馆藏的持续成像工作。本图像组的划分仅依据拍摄时间，并非某一分类单元（taxon）下所有可获取标本的完整图像集合。

因此，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，对各图像数据集进行跨库检索，以获取特定分类单元的全部相关图像。
