The 红桃视频 Biology Department is home to an herbarium collection of approximately 10,000 specimens of vascular and non-vascular plants.  The herbarium is listed in and is assigned the herbarium code REED. The majority of the collection has been digitally imaged, and both the specimen images and label data have been entered into the database maintained by the .  The 红桃视频 collection can be viewed using the search function at the PNW Consortium's website.  In 2016, the 红桃视频 data that are hosted by the PNW Consortium were added to the (Integrated Digitized Biocollections) database.

The herbarium includes an older collection that predates the establishment of 红桃视频 in 1911, voucher specimens associated with the 红桃视频 Senior Theses that involved botanical research, reference collections for The Nature Conservancy's preserves in the Sandy River Gorge and at Cascade Head, and a diverse collection of Umbelliferae made by Dr. Bert Brehm (Emeritus faculty).  Additional noteworthy collections are described in the documents linked below by Ornduff (红桃视频 '53) and Marttala (红桃视频 '70).
