Imaging
A number of imaging projects have been, are and will be undertaken in order to make the material in the herbarium more easily accessible and usable for people worldwide and in partial fulfillment of the Herbarium’s commitment to data repatriation under the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Imaging has been completed of Harvey's Travelling Sets of Algae. These specimens are never sent on loan as they consist of bound volumes each containing historically valuable material of many species.
As you will see from this document Harvey's Travelling Sets of Algae originate from Ceylon, the Friendly Islands and Australia. There are seven books of specimens from Australia and one each from Ceylon and the Friendly Islands.
- A searchable pdf table which details the collections in the Ceylonese book is available to download here (PDF, 32KB)
- A searchable pdf table which details the collections in the Friendly Islands book is available to download here (PDF, 46KB)
- A single searchable pdf table which details the collections in the seven Australian books is available to download here (PDF,156KB)

Some images of the African specimens are available for download via the ALUKA website.
Funding from the Mellon Foundation has enabled all type specimens and many others of historical interest to be imaged and a database to them (PENELOPE) created. These images will be made available through JSTOR or via a direct request to the herbarium.
