The curator of the Moscow University Herbarium.

I am also the head of the Moscow Digital Herbarium Initiative (https://plant.depo.msu.ru/). We published here 300dpi scans of ca. 971,000 herbarium specimens preserved in the Moscow University Herbarium. As of December 2018, labels of 136,000 specimens are fully captured and 323,000 specimens are georeferenced. The dataset which is also available in GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/dataset/902c8fe7-8f38-45b0-854e-c324fed36303) is the largest online biodiversity database in Russia.

We hold the largest digitised herbarium collections from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Latvia.

Information System "Flora of Moscow" will be launched at plant.depo.msu.ru by the end of 2019. To promote floristic field recording we created iNat project (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/flora-of-moscow) for automatic selection of research-grade plant observations across Moscow. Stay tuned!
