UNM Herbarium - What's New

Fall 2008, expected publication of A Field Guide to the Plants and Animals of the Middle Rio Grande Bosque. Jean-Luc Cartron, David Lightfoot, Jane Mygatt, Sandra Brantley and Tim Lowrey. UNM Press.
Spring 2008, INRAM Biodiversity Division is now the New Mexico Biodiversity Collections Consortium! New Mexico is enormously rich in biodiversity and fortunate in that a history of that biodiversity is still available to scientists and the public in the form of collections housed in the state's natural history museums. To protect those collections and to make the information stored in them available to the scientific community and the general public, NMBCC has integrated museum data at the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, Western New Mexico University, and Eastern New Mexico University into a searchable geospatial format accessible via the Internet. The NMBCC Gateway to New Mexico Biodiversity.
2004-present, efforts continue in georeferencing the collection.
In May 2004, the Herbarium finished data entry into the specimen label information database.
In late-July 2004 the curator, Tim Lowrey, moved from the Biology building into a new office in the Herbarium (CERIA).
In August 2004, efforts will begin in georeferencing the collection.
