databases for herbaria

[Robin Scribailo]

Some time ago there was much discussion about the availability of databases
for cataloging herbarium collections. We have recently established a
herbarium here at Purdue North Central and are looking for some free
programs. I know there was some mention of several programs that were
downloadable. I would really appreciate if those in the know could send me
the information by email. Purchasing a program is not possible since we
have no budget for the herbarium. We keep ourselves in essential supplies
by having plant sales from our greenhouse tropical plant collection.
