What Are Herbarium Cabinets Used For?
A herbarium is a reference collection of pressed, dried plants, each mounted on a sheet with a label giving its name, place and date of collection. The sheets must be stored flat, dry and dark so they last for years, and they need to be easy to find again. These cabinets do that job: the shallow 8 cm drawers keep each stack low so lower sheets are not crushed, the phosphor bronze clip stops sheets sliding when a drawer is opened, and the index card holder on the drawer front shows which family or genus is filed inside. Schools use them for the herbarium sheets students prepare in biology projects, and colleges and universities for teaching and departmental collections in botany.
Place the cabinet in a dry room away from damp walls and direct sunlight. Make sure specimens are completely dry before they are filed, check drawers regularly for insect damage, and keep the batten closed when the collection is not in use. The laminated frame can be wiped with a damp cloth; the spirit-polished drawers should be dusted with a dry one.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of drawers — 6, 12 or 24, depending on the size of the collection.
- Sheet size — check that your herbarium sheets fit the 45 cm x 37 cm drawer before ordering.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 cabinets; mixed drawer counts can be combined in one enquiry.
- Collecting and pressing equipment — add a vasculum or plant press to the same enquiry if you are setting up a new herbarium.
