State and prospects of using the scientific potential of the bryological collection of the LWS
herbarium
The article substantiates the significance of the scientific potential of the bryological collection of
the LWS herbarium of the State Natural History Museum of the National Academy of Sciences of
Ukraine as a source оf practical scientific research. The main criteria for an integral expert assessment
of the natural history museum collection are presented, including the characteristics of the collection
itself, as well as the results of the attribution of its components. The significant achievements of the
main collectors-scientists, who have worked on unique museum collections of bryophytes at different
times, were analyzed. The assessment of the collection for the preservation of natural heritage, the
prospects of its further use for conducting scientific research, as well as the possibility of its long-term
storage and replenishment in order to increase the taxonomic and geographical representativeness of
bryophytes is given. The experience of digitization of collection herbarium bryological materials is
presented, which has become an important factor for reliable recording of this information and
optimization of the process of further scientific processing of collections.
Keywords: scientific potential, assessment criteria, bryological collection, LWS herbarium,
digitization.
