Information systems are critical to the management of biological collections of research institutions in biodiversity, since they have been making significant investments in the computerization process and digitization of their collections. Systems of herbarium and botanical gardens databases have evolved to provide online data from herbarium specimens and related collections, in addition to your images.

The system now reflects the knowledge acquired by a multidisciplinary team of botanists and computer professionals, in a decade of intensive use in the management of digital content and curator of the herbarium.
