Texas Oklahoma Regional Consortium of Herbaria

Description

The Texas Oklahoma Regional Consortium of Herbaria was created to advocate for and organize approximately 4 million plant specimens across more than 50 herbaria in the U.S. states of Texas and Oklahoma. TORCH has four primary objectives: 1) To provide a mechanism for communication and collaboration among regional herbaria of all types and sizes; 2) To promote regional data-sharing and plant taxonomic and collections-based research, outreach, and education; 3) To function as a regional consortium in the plant research collection network; 4) To assist herbaria with infrastructural and management guidelines and problem-solving.
