Herbalization and labeling with barcodes in digitized specimens
México
Database, Digitally image, Process backlog
Cost (USD):
2000
BCMEX
Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California
Objective:
1. Mounting on carboards / paper ca. 3000 herbarium specimens waiting to be added into the vascular plant collection
2. Put labels ca. 2000 herbarium specimens of vascular plants reference collection species from Baja California, Mexico.
Timetable:
Depending on the date on which the financial resource and the mounting paper availability, we estimate sca n10 specimens per day (2500 in 10 months), and mounting in paper and registration in a database 20 specimens per day (5000 in 10 months).
The herbarium technician, halftime four hours (per day), and my part time between my courses.

Reviewer's name:
Collection Improvement (max. 120 points)
-
Facilitating access to the physical collections by digitization (e.g., data entry, setting up database structure with an outline of the platform to be used, purchasing equipment, and imaging specimens) – up to 30 points.
-
Enhancing physical collections by improving the conservation status of specimens in the herbarium (e.g., better folders, protecting covers, mounting paper, labeling, etc.) – up to 30 points.
-
Curating specimens (e.g., updating families, species identification, identifying types) – up to 20 points.
-
Increasing our understanding of the flora or funga by making new herbarium specimens available, such as processing of backlog or collecting and mounting of new specimens from understudied sites – up to 20 points.
-

Methods & Funding (max. 40 points)
-
Match between the proposed budget and methods for the aims described – up to 10 points.
-
Perceived need, the extent to which the project will benefit from IAPT funding: e.g., due to active floristic work or contribution to poorly collected sites, due to threatened conditions of collections, and for the degree of involvement of others (outreach and education). We give more points for herbaria in low- and middle-income countries – up to 20 points.
-
Sharing duplicate specimens with other herbaria – up to 10 points.

-
The project will yield durable benefits (specimens, digitized metadata, databases, websites) – up to 15 points.
-
The project involves outreach/mentoring and broad dissemination – up to 15 points.
