INDEX XYLARIORUM. INSTITUTIONAL WOOD COLLECTIONS OF THE WORLD. 3.

Department of Botany, Florida State Museum, and School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 U.S.A.

THIS THIRD EDITION of the Index Xylariorum. Institutional Wood Collections ofthe World, is an outgrowth of the Guide to Institutional Wood Collections which appeared in 1957. As with the first compilation, the second published in 1967, and the third in 1978, the present work is an attempt to satisfy a need among botanists, wood technologists, foresters, and others to whom wood is a research and study medium, and to provide a basis for solving problems in archreol­ ogy, anthropology, law, wood technology, and other applied fields where identified wood specimens are required for examination and comparison. The objectives of this edition, as of the former ones, are to bring together in one pi ace information about the existence, staff, and contents of the world's public wood collections, and to record the changes which have taken place over the years with respect to these collections. Addresses of some wood collections listed here, and formerly in the second edition of the Index Xylariorum, are followed by the designation "(outdated)." In these instances, replies to requests for information were not received for this third edition, sometimes even after duplicated . mailings, and text from the second edition of the Index has been reprinted verbatim except that personnel are not included. In the descriptions, where there are no entries under certain categories, respondents may have not replied to specific questions, the response was negative, or the response was ambiguous. The questionnaire from which the information contained in this compilation was gleaned is reprinted below for convenience. A complete history of this venture appears in the first Index Xylariorum and interested readers are referred to that publication for details. Information about previous indices and wood collections in general may be sought in the works listed in the Bibliography below. Data in the present Index are up-to-date as of January 31, 1988, as far as could be determined at that time. It is noteworthy that this edition of Index Xylariorum contains the first entries for the nations of Iran, Nicaragua, and The People' s Republic of China. The Guide contained information for 66 institutions, the first Index Xylariorum for 113 institutions, Index Xylariorum. 2 for 130 institutions, and the current Index for 134 institutions. Since the Guide was published in 1957, several collections have gone out of existence, others have come into being, and still others have been transferred from institution to institution and become amalgamated to form more compre­ hensive collections. The establishment and activities of wood collections have often been based on the personal interests of their founders and have persisted largely for this reason. The continued vigour of activities surrounding wood collections, thus, reflects the dedication of personnel charged with the responsibilities of maintenance. As these people move or take up other responsibilities main­ tenance of the wood collection may be jeopardised. Wood collections have also been brought into existence to satisfy needs for instruction, research, and service. As these needs change, so the impetus for continuing the wood collection may also change. The activities of wood collec­ tions are also influenced by policy shifts in supporting institutions and by budget constraints.

Thus, the pennanency of wood collections can only be assured by an unwavering institution al cornrnitment toward this end. In the final analysis, perhaps, only collection-oriented museums will satisfy this requirement. I want to thank the curators and other officials who responded generously to the question­ naire on which the infonnation below is based. Without the support of the several units of the University of Florida noted in my address above, it would have been most difficult to accom­ plish the task of compiling this work. Finally, the International Association of Wood Anato­ mists, publisher of this Index, and especially Professor Pieter Baas of the University of Leiden, deserve my sincerest acknowledgement for their support and encouragement.
