Australian National Herbarium Images - 68858

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植物标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）馆藏标本的图像集。

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。其在澳大利亚各植物标本馆中独具特色，以国家级定位推进馆藏建设、标本采集与研究项目。

澳大利亚国家植物标本馆由联邦政府多年来管理的多家植物标本馆合并而成，其中涵盖数家联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）植物标本馆、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植物标本馆。此前被称为"Herbarium Australiense"的联邦科学与工业研究组织核心馆藏，于1984年正式更名为"澳大利亚国家植物标本馆"。该馆是澳大利亚国家生物多样性研究中心的项目单元，同时也是澳大利亚虚拟植物标本馆的共建参与方。

主馆藏的标本由澳大利亚政府气候变迁、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标本则由詹姆斯·库克大学与昆士兰州政府联合采集与管理。

ANH兰花科植物花解剖卡片馆藏的整理、数据库构建与数字化工作，获得了澳大利亚兰花基金会的资金支持。

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。这批图像源于两项系统性工作：一是对全馆标本进行数字化的项目，二是对实体标本馆藏的持续成像工作。本图像组仅按拍摄时间周期随机划分，并非某一分类单元下所有馆藏标本的完整图像列表。

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