Description: Database of biological collections in natural history museums, herbaria, and other biorepositories resulting from a merger of Index Herbariorum (IH), Biodiversity Collections Index (BCI) and biorepositories.org. It contains more than 14,000 records for biorepository institutions, their collections, and staff members. Their two main goals are to improve access to information about biorepositories, the collections and specimens they house, and the researchers and collection managers who work there; and to facilitate electronic linkages to this information through web services that will rely on unique identifiers assigned to biorepositories and collections. The Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) has developed and will manage GRBio in collaboration with IH and BCI and in consultation with GBIF and NCBI. GRBio includes four categories of data records that provide information on: * Institutional repositories such as museums, herbaria, botanical gardens, zoos, biomedical research institutes and culture centers; * Institutional collection records such as the bird, algal or insect collections within an institutional repository; * Personal collections such as field samples held by a researcher before they have been accessioned into an institutional collection, or privately owned specimens held by non-researchers; and * Staff members at institutional repositories GRBio operates as a moderated community-curated resource. The community is invited to check and update their records and to register institutions, collections and staff members that have not already been registered. GRBio offers registration of institutional collections, "personal" research collections that have not yet been accessioned into an institutional repository, and privately owned collections.
