The Science Department maintains a number of non-living biological and cultural
collections. Primary among these is the Herbarium (PTBG) which houses dried, voucher
specimens of native and introduced species from Hawai‘i, various Pacific islands, and other
regions, arranged by Family, and available to staff and visiting scientists for study in the
Botanical Research Center. Information for Visiting Scientists is available at
http://ntbg.org/resources/herbarium.php. (See also Collections Manual of Procedures,
Appendices: Regulations Governing Herbarium Loans, and Herbarium Specimen Use
Policies.)
The Science Department also manages ancillary non-living biological collections including leaf
tissue collections in silica gel for DNA studies (here termed “silica collections”); carpological
(fruit) collections for plants with fruits or seeds that are too large or too unmanageable to mount
on a herbarium sheet; a seed reference collection; alcohol-preserved collections, made primarily
but not uniquely for special requests or purposes, or for certain taxa (e.g., Orchidaceae) that
benefit from having 3-D specimens; and wood collections. (See also Collections Manual of
Procedures, Appendices: Ancillary Biological Collections, and Silica Collections.)
In addition, the Science Department manages a collection of Hawaiian and world insects; a
collection of slides, print photos, and digital images; and the Library Collections, including the
rare book collection. (See also Collections Manual of Procedures, Appendices: Loy
McCandless Marks Botanical Library User Policies.)
