Notes on Specimen Records and Images
Specimens are used for scientific research and because of skilled preparation and
careful use they may last for hundreds of years. Some collections have specimens
that were collected over 100 years ago that may no longer be found within the original collection area.
By making these specimens available on the web as images, their availability and
value improves without an increase in inadvertent damage caused by use.
Please note that collecting specimens in most cases will require permission of the landowner. In the case of rare and endangered species, additional permits may also be required. In different countries, different laws may apply and it should be obvious that these regulations need to be adhered to. It is best to coordinate such efforts with a regional or national institution that manages publicly accessible collections. The Consortium is not legally responsible for any data being shared by any contributor. All data sets made available through this biodiversity data portal are shared here assuming that legal collection requirements have been adhered to by the different participating institutions that provide this information. Disclaimer Regarding Offensive Language
Consortium of Lichen Herbaria may contain specimens and
historical records that are culturally sensitive. The collections include specimens
dating back over 200 years collected from all around the world. Some records may also
include offensive language. These records do not reflect Consortium of Lichen Herbaria’s current viewpoint
but rather the social attitudes and circumstances of the time period when specimens were collected or cataloged.
