Australian National Herbarium Images - 66374

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.

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

澳大利亚国家植物标本馆馆藏约100万份保藏植物标本，为澳大利亚三大顶尖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，以全国性统筹定位开展标本馆藏、采集与研究工作。

澳大利亚国家植物标本馆由联邦政府多年来整合多家标本馆资源组建而成，整合对象包括多家CSIRO下属标本馆、森林研究所桉属植物标本馆藏、森林研究所阿瑟顿热带雨林标本馆藏，以及澳大利亚国家植物园标本馆。原隶属于CSIRO的核心馆藏此前名为"Herbarium Australiense"，并于1984年正式更名为"澳大利亚国家植物标本馆"。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植物标本馆的共建参与方之一。

主馆藏的标本由澳大利亚联邦政府气候变化、能源、环境与水资源部联合开展采集与管理工作；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负责采集与管理。

澳大利亚兰花基金会（Australian Orchid Foundation）提供经费支持，完成了ANH兰科植物花解剖卡片馆藏的整理、建库与数字化工作。

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。这批图像源自两项工作：一是对全馆标本开展系统性数字化项目，二是对实体标本馆藏进行持续成像拍摄。本图像组仅按图像拍摄的时间周期进行随机划分，并非某一分类单元（taxon）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下的全部图像。我们建议通过科学域（Scientific Domains）下的NRCA标本图像检索工具进行跨数据集检索，以获取特定分类单元的所有相关图像。
