Australian National Herbarium Images - 64957

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.

本数据集为馆藏于澳大利亚国家标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）的植物标本图像合集。

澳大利亚国家标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）馆藏约100万份蜡叶植物标本，是澳大利亚规模前三的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全国性为核心定位。

澳大利亚国家标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）由联邦政府管理的多家标本馆历经多年合并整合而成，其中包括若干澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, 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。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（Australian National Herbarium）”。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。

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

数据集溯源：本数据集为澳大利亚国家标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）馆藏标本图像系列之一。这批图像源自两项系统性工作：一是全馆标本数字化专项项目，二是实体标本馆藏的持续成像工作。本图像组仅以拍摄时间周期为划分依据，并非某一分类群所有馆藏标本的完整列表，不具备分类学范畴内的全标本覆盖性。

有鉴于此，本数据集未必涵盖某一分类群的全部图像。我们推荐通过科学领域下的NRCA标本图像检索工具，跨图像数据集进行检索，以获取某一特定分类群的全部馆藏图像。
