Project Details
The primary aim of PNGcollectors database is to produce a list of past and present staff of the Papua New Guinea National Herbarium (LAE), based on official records held at LAE and on the collections in the PNGplants database. Therefore, information about Administration and other support staff will be included. Although the focus of this website is on LAE staff, there are many other important plant collectors who worked in Papua New Guinea. The NGF and/or LAE collections series has been used by LAE staff and by many other collectors (for example, by those from the Papua New Guinea Forestry College, Bulolo, now Papua New Guinea University of Technology, and by staff from the Department of Forests, Papua New Guinea, now Papua New Guinea National Forest Authority).
Information about many of these are provided by M.J. van Steenis Kruseman in her Cyclopaedia of Malesian Collectors (now maintained by P.C. van Welzen). Researchers who are interested in bibliographical information about collectors from the Malesian region should refer to this comprehensive reference. Links from PNGcollectors to this publication have been included when relevant.
