Central Siberian Botanical Garden SB RAS

Description

Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSBG SB RAS) is the largest botanical institution in the Asian part of Russia. It was founded in 1946. Now there are two herbarium collections in CSBG SB RAS with own acronyms and registration in the Index Herbariorum (NSK and NS). Collection contains about 800 000 herbarium specimens of high vascular plants, mosses, lichens and fungi sampled in Siberia, Russian Far East, Europe, Asia and America. Digitization of high vascular plants at 600 dpi was initiated in 2014 by special scanner Herbscan starting with type specimens. Images and metadata of 889 type specimens are currently available on the Virtual Herbaria web site at the Vienna University, Austria and in Jstor. In 2017 a new research group “USU-Herbarium” was organized in CSBG for digitization and management of herbarium collections. Our aim is to provide online access to CSBG SB RAS herbarium collections as a worldwide resource for biodiversity studies.
