Australian National Herbarium Images - 69529

This collection is a set of images of specimens held at the Australian National Herbarium.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nSpecimens 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.\n\nThe curation, databasing and digitisation of the ANH Orchidaceae floral dissection card collection was supported by funding from the Australian Orchid Foundation.\nLineage: 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.\n\nAs 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.

本数据集为收藏于澳大利亚国家标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）的馆藏标本图像集。

澳大利亚国家标本馆馆藏约100万份植物蜡叶标本，是澳大利亚三大核心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，馆藏建设、标本采集与研究项目均以国家层面为核心定位。

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整合合并而成，其中包括澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）旗下多家标本馆、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。该馆的核心馆藏此前名为“Herbarium Australiense”，并于1984年正式更名为“澳大利亚国家标本馆”。目前，澳大利亚国家标本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单位。

其主馆藏标本由澳大利亚政府气候与能源、环境及水利部联合采集并管理；而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采集并管理。

澳大利亚国家标本馆（ANH）兰科（Orchidaceae）植物花解剖卡片馆藏的整理、数据库搭建与数字化工作，得到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标本馆馆藏图像系列之一。这些图像源于两项系统性工作：一是对全馆标本进行数字化的专项项目，二是对实体标本馆藏的持续成像工作。本次图像分组仅按照拍摄时间进行随机划分，并非某一分类单元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单元的全部图像。我们建议通过科学域下的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所有相关图像。
