A Traditional Enhancement award at the University of Louisiana at Monroe has assisted in the establishment of a unified online virtual herbarium for the State. A consortial project involving all fifteen of Louisiana’s herbaria, this project supports the imaging and databasing of more than 1.1 million specimens. A National Science Foundation grant in 2009 created CyberFlora Louisiana to begin the imaging and cataloging work; the Enhancement award supplements and expands on this award, increasing the imaging capacity of ULM, which houses more than 30% of the specimens held statewide.
