The herbaria of the World, with 387.5M specimens (Thiers, 2019), are being rapidly digitized. At least 77M plant specimens (20%) are already databased throughout the globe in the standard form of GBIF-mediated data. About 55M specimens are imaged, but only 21.6M of them are concentrated in the top-ten largest digital herbaria-P, L, NY, US, PE, BR, MEXU, MW, K, and MPU. The contribution of smaller herbaria has been steadily growing in the last few years due to cost reduction, and usage of platforms and solutions developed by the leaders. The global trend is largely the same in Russia, where a dozen herbaria started to scan their holdings after imaging the specimens of the nation's second-largest herbarium (Seregin, 2016). A web-resource, the Moscow Digital Herbarium (https://plant. depo.msu.ru/), was launched by Lomonosov Moscow State University in October, 2016 for publication of specimens imaged and databased in the Moscow University Herbarium (MW) (Seregin, 2018). From 2015 to 2018, a commercial partner scanned 93% of the regular herbarium collections at 300 dpi and 100% of the types at 600 dpi due to the financial support from the Russian Science Foundation. As of 31 December 2018, the web-portal included 968,031 images of 971,732 specimens. About one-third (i.e., 323,015 records) were georeferenced by that time. This dataset is available in GBIF (https://doi.org/10.15468/cpnhcc) since late 2017 and updated in a weekly synchronization mode.

World herbaria with 387.5M specimens (Thiers 2019) are being rapidly digitised. At least 79.9M plant specimens (20.6%) are already databased throughout the globe in the standard form of GBIF-mediated data. The contribution of smaller herbaria has been steadily growing over the last few years due to cost reduction, usage of platforms and solutions developed by the leaders. A web-resource the Moscow Digital Herbarium (Seregin 2020b) was launched by the Lomonosov Moscow State University in October, 2016 for publication of specimens imaged and databased in the Moscow University Herbarium (MW). As of 31 December 2018, the web-portal included 968,031 images of 971,732 specimens digitised in MW. This dataset is available in GBIF (Seregin 2020). The global trend is largely the same in Russia, where a dozen herbaria started to scan their holdings after imaging of the nation’s second largest herbarium (Kislov et al. 2017, Kovtonyuk et al. 2019, Seregin 2020a). In 2019, we started to use Moscow Digital Herbarium as a web-repository for digitised herbarium specimens from some Russian collections, starting with the Herbarium of Tsitsin Main Botanical Gaden, Russian Academy of Sciences (MHA). Due to this, a single-university system became a multi-institutional consortium in April 2019 (Seregin 2020a). The dataset of the Moscow collections and partly of the Eastern European collections of the MHA Herbarium is now available in GBIF (Seregin and Stepanova 2020). MHA Herbarium imaged 64,008 specimens from Moscow Region and partly from other regions of Eastern Europe at 600 dpi and provided key metadata. These data are now fully available in the Moscow Digital Herbarium and GBIF. Complete georeferencing of the specimens from the City of Moscow was a key task in 2020. As of May 2020, 50,324 specimens, including 49,732 specimens from Russia, have been georeferenced (78.6%) and 39,448 specimens have fully-captured label transcriptions (61.6%). Based on these data, we give a detailed overview of the collections including spatial, temporal and taxonomic description of the dataset.

“…Creating digital herbaria is not just a modern trend in herbarium scientific work, but a process of inven tory and modernization of herbarium collec tions of the world's leading Botanical institutions (Seregin 2016, 2018, Kovtonyuk 2017, James et al 2018. For researchers working with natural collections, it is especially helpful to quickly search for visual information and find studied ob jects in collections around the world (Nelson et al 2012, Kislov et al 2017, Kovtonyuk et al 2019b. Scanned highre so lution material enables researchers to work with it remo tely, which speeds up the scientific process significantly (Nelson et al 2018).…”

A digital inventory of the section “Foreign Asia” of the collection of vascular plants of the Krasnoborov herbarium (NS) of the Central Siberian Botanical garden SB RAS was carried out. The workflow of converting a collection to digital form is described. The Scanned material is available in the digital herbarium of the CSBG SB RAS on the Institute’s server at http://herb.csbg.nsc.ru:8081, as well as on the portal GBIF.org. Taxonomic, geographical and historical analyses of collections, as well as a review of leading collectors, was conducted.
