For the previous decade prior to 2004, the Southeastern Herbarium Curator’s Committee, a group of curators in the southeastern United States, informally met with the Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB). The group organized a symposium entitled “The Future of Plant Collections in the Southeast” in 2001 and the concept for the expansion of this
organization was developed in the ensuing workshop. Through efforts spearheaded by John Herr at the University of South Carolina, Michael Woods at Troy University, and Dan Evans at Marshall University, the group developed a constitution and formally organized as SHC on July 4, 2004. ASB and the Southern Appalachian Botanical Society (SABS) have recognized SHC as an affiliate society.
