	Virtual Herbarium Express - Herbarium Databasing Software from The New York Botanical Garden
		Virtual Herbarium Express is a software application designed for use in the field by New York Botanical Garden scientists.
		Virtual Herbarium Express can serve as both a field and herbarium tool for small to mid-sized herbaria, or as a starter system for a larger institution that wishes to gain experience with an existing collection management software application before creating their own.
		Virtual Herbarium Express can be downloaded from the Library, or contact us and we'll send a cd your way.

	Virtual Herbarium Gets Six Million Plants Online Media Release Fact Sheet - Australia's Virtual Herbarium 14 June 2001
		The Virtual Herbarium project will enable records about the remaining 60 per cent of specimens to be entered into these electronic databases and will make all these records available through the portal site.
		The idea of developing Australia's Virtual Herbarium emerged from a working group established in 1995 to accelerate the cooperative development of storage, maintenance and dissemination of plant, algal and fungal data and information in Australian government herbaria.
		Each participating herbarium will continue to be responsible for its collection but by collaborating to develop Australia's Virtual Herbarium they will all contribute to enhancing understanding of Australia's biological diversity.

		Australia's Virtual Herbarium is a national collaborative project to develop a universally accessible, integrated, Australian flora information system.
		Information contained in the Virtual Herbarium will be available to help design revegetation projects, threatened species recovery plans and other land restoration activities and research projects.
		Working with the Australian National Herbarium through the Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research last year, the Landcare group was able to obtain a list of species based on scientific collections made in the region over the past 150 years, with recommendations for species suitable for revegetation projects.

	The Virtual Field Herbarium
		The Virtual Field Herbarium plant image gallery (VFH for short) is composed of images and linked data from (eco-)friendly researchers and artists.
		In effect, the VFH is a collaborative tool, with various methods for sifting through the collection, and should be useful in itself for identifying plants, at least in the regions where we have collaborators.
		Most images are linked to herbarium specimens, so names used for these images are potentially verifiable in the herbarium by reference to the specimen.

		The “Virtual Herbarium” will serve as an online tool for trained volunteers, students, agency personnel and the general public.
		The Herbarium will consist of photos, line drawings, and scanned images for eleven target invasive species, as defined under Maine law, as well as for native plants that are often mistaken for invaders and others that will likely be encountered during the survey process.
		However many patrollers, especially those who are new to plant identification, have expressed the need for additional visual and descriptive resources, to provide further aid in identifying and understanding the target invaders and also in identifying the native plants most frequently encountered during the screening survey process.

		Traditionally data are contained on the herbarium specimen labels, while information is disseminated in the form of scientific accounts (revisions, monographs) and made more widely accessible in state, regional and national floras and handbooks.
		The establishment in 1995 of the Herbarium Information Systems Committee (HISCOM) by the Council of Heads of Australian Herbaria (CHAH) was initiated to accelerate cooperative development of flora data storage, maintenance and dissemination in Australian government herbaria.
		Herbarium specimens are indispensable for maintaining confidence in data linked to scientific names owing to the changing circumscription of species as knowledge of our flora advances.
