The University of White Plains is a well recognized tertiary education institution in
Guatemala and a national reference for biodiversity research. The Plant Biology Department
keeps a mediumsize
herbarium containing approximately 80,000 specimens collected in
and around the local region and dating from the mid20th
century to the present. The
collection includes important specimens including types and endemics.
Currently, the care of the collection is assigned to the Professor of Plant Systematics, who
performs curatorial tasks as well as their regular research and teaching work. The
Departmental Admin is responsible for daytoday
administrative tasks for the herbarium
such as purchasing consumables including paper and labels. Faculty staff and students
collaborating within the department occasionally work on and update the identifications on
the specimens and there are two retired botanists who regularly volunteer in the collection
assisting the Professor to prepare loans.
The University already has an online search for its library collections which is maintained by
the University’s central webteam
on externally hosted servers. No natural history specimens
are currently served via this platform.
The Head of the Plant Biology Department has recently secured 2 years of funding to image
and publish the botanical collections information online. The team wants to use this
opportunity to establish a permanent digitization and publishing protocol that will give higher
visibility to the herbarium and continue attracting funding.
