Abstract

Herbarium collections are the most important source of scientific information about the distribution of objects in the past and the present, which allows simulation the dynamics of objects in the future. Only the herbarium sample reliably confirms the presence of the plant organism in a specific point of space in a certain period of time. 
Herbarium collections and the data they hold are valuable for more traditional studies of taxonomy and systematic, but also for ecology, bioengineering, conservation, food security, and the human social and cultural elements of scientific collection. The value and universality of herbarium specimens
are recognized in most countries, where national and large regional herbariums are
actively developing and improving.

The creation of Virtual or Digital herbarium became a modern trend, stage of the inventory and modernization of herbarium collections of the leading Botanical institutions in the world. Our aim is to provide online access to CSBG SB RAS herbarium collections as a worldwide resource for biodiversity study. Writing the long-awaited “Flora of Russia” would be greatly accelerated in the presence of network centers of Digital herbarium collections of Botanical institutions in Russia.
The first herbarium at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden (CSBG SB RAS),
Novosibirsk, Russia was organized in 1946. Now there are two herbarium collections
in CSBG with their own acronyms and registrations in the Index Herbariorum (NSK
and NS). Collection contains about 800,000 herbarium specimens of higher vascular
plants, mosses, lichens and fungi sampled in Siberia, Russian Far East, Europe, Asia
and America.

General description

Purpose: Our aim is to provide online access to CSBG SB RAS herbarium collections
as a worldwide resource for biodiversity study. Writing the long-awaited
“Flora of Russia” would be greatly accelerated in the presence of network centers of
Virtual herbarium collections of Botanical institutions in Russia.

Personnel: Nataliya Kovtonyuk, Irina Han, Evgeniya Gatilova
Study area descriptions/descriptor: In the dataset specimens from 37 countries of Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australia are presented, most of them are from Russia.
Design description: Our aim is to provide online access to CSBG SB RAS herbarium collections as a worldwide resource for biodiversity study. Writing the long-awaited “Flora of Russia” would be greatly accelerated in the presence of network centers of Virtual herbarium collections of Botanical institutions in Russia.

Methods

Method step description: Digitization is performed on two ObjectScan 1600 scanners (Microtek) using software ScanWizard-Botany and MiVapp-Botany according to the international standards, at 600 dpi, with a barcode, 24-color scale and spatial scale bar. The Digital Herbarium is created as a network resource on biodiversity, the materials of which can be used in GBIF, for taxonomic treatments in the preparation of “Flora of Russia”, in various types of scientific research and educational purposes.
Study extent description: The Digital Herbarium of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden of SB RAS began to be created on the taxonomic basis in 2017. Completely digitized herbarium specimens of genera Allium, Geranium, Medicago, Rhododendron, family Primulaceae, rare plants of Siberian flora, as well as type specimens of vascular plants stored in NS and NSK collections at the CSBG SB RAS. 
Sampling description: The digitization results are published in the open access as 8 datasets on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) portal using the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) installed on the CSBG server.
