Description:

The Small British Herbaria Project (SBHP) is a joint venture between the BSBI and the University of Hull, Department of Geography. It aims to bring together information about specimens of British plants held in various collections and make it available from a single internet source. Kent and Allen's 'British and Irish Herbaria' (1984) already provides a comprehensive insight into the extent and location of collections but no information about individual specimens. At the present this information is, with some notable exceptions, only very sparingly available.The SBHP provides a general indexing service to herbaria, some of which may have their own comprehensive on-line resources but for others it could represent the sole catalogue. There are around 20 datasets currently
