Herbadrop is both an archival service for long-term preservation of herbarium specimen images and a tool for extracting information by image analysis. Developed by five institutes from Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands and Scotland it aims to be available to other herbaria in the future.

By bringing together the knowledge of each institute on herbarium specimen images and the experience of CINES, the French National Computing Center for Higher Education based in Montpellier, on long term digital preservation and the EUDAT services, today the analysis and the long-term preservation process of herbarium specimen images is easier.
