Australia's Virtual Herbarium (AVH) is an online resource that provides immediate access to the wealth of plant specimen data held by Australian herbaria. AVH is a collaborative project of the Commonwealth, state and territory herbaria, under the auspices of the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH). Herbarium specimens are accompanied by information on where and when they were collected, by whom, their current identification, and information on habitat and associated species. So far, over 80 per cent of the specimens housed in Australian herbaria have been databased. This data forms a valuable resource for a wide range of stakeholders. The combined specimen data from each herbarium's collection provides the most complete picture of the distribution of Australia's flora to date. AVH is a dynamic resource. New specimen records are added as herbaria continue to database their ever-growing collections, and existing records are updated to reflect name changes and data validation work. ...

The University and Jepson Herbaria of the University of California at Berkeley are two collections of pressed plants housed together along with research labs, libraries, and archives. Together the Herbaria hold about 2,200,000 specimens, one of the largest collections in North America. The University Herbarium, established in 1895, holds botanical collections from around the world. The Jepson Herbarium, established in 1950, specializes in the vascular plants of California. ...

The New York Botanical Garden American Bryophyte Catalog is a project to catalog all the specimens of bryophytes in The New York Botanical Garden Herbarium from the western hemisphere. Phase I resulted in an electronic catalog of approximately 250,000 bryophyte specimens from Canada, Greenland and the United States, which are available for searching from this page. Phase II: Bryophytes of Central America, Mexico and the West Indies, is nearing completion. Phase III will complete the project by cataloging specimens from South America (approximately 140,000). When completed, the American Bryophyte Catalog, which will consist of approximately 500,000 specimen records. This total will represent 75% of the NYBG's holdings of bryophyte specimens. ...

The Type Specimen Register of the United States National Herbarium was begun in 1966 and contains images and data for more than 90,000 type specimens of algae, lichens, bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Yet to be imaged are the lichens, bryophytes and algae, as well as any type that has been on loan since before the start of the project. Types that have been imaged are indicated with a bold letter 'I' at the end of the record. The 'Guidelines and Resources' section describes some of our working methods and some issues with special collections. Types in the U.S. National Herbarium are filed under the basionym and all queries search only the basionym fields. Over time we have added the current name to some records as specimens are annotated, and this name is also displayed. Two search options are available. The 'quick search' leads directly to a single name. The 'full search' allows the user to select search fields, sort order, and output format. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Virtual Herbarium is a huge advancement in herbarium use and design coupling the collection of physical specimens directly with the WWW and incorporating complete specimen data integrated with multiple resources for information generation and retrieval. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden has the first truly virtual herbarium. We already have nearly 60,000 specimens online, including nearly 3,700 palms. NewTaxonomy is now derived from work of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. The Dan Austin Convolvulaceae Collection is now available for simple searches. Multiple Herbaria can be searched at once. Rather than just a simple text database of specimens, or photos of a few particular specimens, an integral part of our design philosophy is to make a high resolution photograph of every specimen in the herbarium available to the world. Our virtual herbarium includes not only specimens from our physical herbarium, but also specimens from other herbaria. The entire Herbarium of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands (CAYM) is available here. In addition to the specimens themselves (each has a high resolution photo of the specimen, a 300dpi scan of the label, and the associated searchable text database containing all of the label information in raw form as well as several interpreted fields) we also have several other resources such as extensive species lists, interactive keys, and thousands of photos of living plants in various databases and indices. ...

Index Herbariorum, a joint project of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) and The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), is a detailed directory of the public herbaria of the world and the staff members associated with them. The eighth edition, published in 1990, is available for $35.00 from The New York Botanical Garden Press. Included in the on-line edition of Index Herbariorum is information for 3,293 herbaria in 168 countries and 10,060 staff members associated with these herbaria. Information for over 80% of the herbaria has been updated, and 526 herbaria have been added since the eighth edition of INDEX HERBARIORUM. Information is available for searching by institution, city, state, acronym, staff member, correspondent, research specialty, and important collections. Telephone and fax numbers and e-mail and URL addresses are included. Note that the Index is fully searchable on research specialty, so it also serves as a PLANT SPECIALISTS INDEX. ...
