The PSU Herbarium offers archiving of plant specimens to local, state, and federal agencies. For unmounted specimen, each pressed and dried plant specimen needs to include all collection data including location (location name and GPS coordinates preferred), date, and collector's name. Identification of unknown specimens requires an additional fee. Mounted specimens need to be mounted on herbarium-quality, acid-free sheets. All specimens will be imaged and added to the HPSU and Consortium of Pacific Northwest Herbaria databases. All proceeds are used to support the training and pay for student workers.
Herbarium service rates:
Processing Unmounted Specimens @ $28/each
Processing Mounted Specimens @ $16/each
Specimen Identification @ $75/each
