Australian National Herbarium Images - Collection number 60878

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.\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.

本数据集为澳大利亚国家标本馆（Australian National Herbarium）所藏馆藏标本的图像集合。

澳大利亚国家标本馆馆藏约100万份腊叶植物标本，是澳大利亚三大植物标本馆藏机构之一。其在澳大利亚各标本馆中独具特色，馆藏建设、标本征集与科研项目均以国家层面为核心导向。

澳大利亚国家标本馆历经多年整合，由多块由联邦政府管理的标本馆藏合并而来，其中包括数块英联邦科学与工业研究组织（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，同时也是澳大利亚虚拟标本馆的共建参与方之一。

其主馆藏的标本由澳大利亚政府气候变革、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的馆藏标本，则由詹姆斯·库克大学与昆士兰州政府联合开展采集与管理工作。

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。这批图像源于两项工作：一是对全馆标本进行数字化的系统性项目，二是对实体馆藏标本的持续性拍摄工作。本图像组的划分仅依据图像拍摄的时间周期，具有随机性，并非某一分类单元下所有馆藏标本的完整收录列表。

因此，本数据集未必涵盖某一分类单元下的全部图像。我们推荐通过科研领域下的NRCA标本图像检索工具，跨图像数据集进行检索，以获取特定分类单元的全部相关图像。
