The University of Washington Herbarium (also known as WTU) is an international resource for research into the diversity, distribution and ecology of Pacific Northwest vascular plants, non-vascular plants, fungi, lichen, and algae. With over 600,000 specimens currently in the collections and between 5,000-10,000 specimens added annually, WTU is one of the largest herbaria in the region. The Herbarium has an active loan and exchange program, and is open to the public. For information about loans or visiting WTU, contact the Collections Manager. Recent support from the National Science Foundation's Biological Research Collections program (2003-2007) resulted in the databasing of over 120,000 Pacific Northwest vascular plant specimens, which are available through our online database.
