Chadron State College, High Plains Herbarium

Founded in 1958, the High Plains Herbarium at Chadron State College (CSCN) houses over 60,000 plant specimens and is the second largest collection in Nebraska. Historically our focus has been on the vascular flora of the Nebraska Panhandle, southwestern South Dakota and eastern Wyoming, with special emphasis on the Nebraska Pine Ridge escarpment and Sandhills. We also have a strong representation of material from the central Great Plains, particularly Nebraska and Kansas as well as the Rocky Mountains. In recent years we have expanded our holdings to include over 2000 bryophyte and nearly 1000 lichen specimens, mostly from the Nebraska Panhandle. The herbarium also houses the personal herbarium and library of plantsman Claude A. Barr and the personal papers of ethnobotanist George Morgan, in addition an extensive historic pharmaceutical collection.

查德隆州立学院（Chadron State College，CSCN）下属的高平原植物标本馆（High Plains Herbarium）成立于1958年，馆藏植物标本六万余份，是内布拉斯加州规模第二大的植物标本馆藏。长期以来，该馆的馆藏重点聚焦于内布拉斯加狭地、南达科他州西南部与怀俄明州东部的维管植物区系（vascular flora），并对内布拉斯加松岭陡崖与沙丘地区予以重点关注。此外，该馆还拥有大量来自大平原中部的标本资源，尤以堪萨斯州、内布拉斯加州及落基山脉地区的馆藏最为丰富。近年来，该馆进一步扩充馆藏，新增逾两千份苔藓植物（bryophyte）标本与近千份地衣（lichen）标本，其中绝大多数采自内布拉斯加狭地。该馆同时收纳了植物收藏与栽培专家克劳德·A·巴尔（Claude A. Barr）的私人植物标本馆及藏书、民族植物学家乔治·摩根（George Morgan）的个人手稿，此外还藏有一批规模庞大的历史药物藏品。
