Henriette Kress, known as "cyberspace's herbal archivist" 〔http://home.teleport.com/~howieb/ Howard Brounstein, AHG〕 is a well-known Finnish herbalist who has developed one of the most encyclopedic noncommercial web sites on herbal medicine worldwide.〔http://garden-gate.prairienet.org/teaching.htm Garden Gate Herbal Education page〕〔http://www.pitt.edu/~cbw/herb University of Pittsburgh herbal sources.html〕 It contains archives on several public and non public herbal forums, a photographic database of 8,000 botanical plant photos, and reprints of 20 major classic herbal works which had been largely lost to history. The reprints contain information on 4200 different plants, plus those not yet in the plant name database. (For purposes of comparison, a typical Chinese herbalist might use 300 herbs, an American herbalist 50 - 100 and a native Cherokee medicine man 800)〔David Winston'' Cherokee Herbal Medicine'' Medicines from the Earth Conference 2001 01ME07 http://www.botanicalmedicine.org/Tapes/01me/01me07.htm〕 The classic texts include major works like * King's American Dispensatory * Harvey Wickes Felter's Eclectic Materia Medica * Finley Ellingwood's American Materia Medica == History of the herbal web site == Kress has been active on the web since 1992, and published her first FAQ on herbs for the alt.forklore.herbs newsgroup in 1995.〔(The history of this site | Henriette's Herbal Homepage )〕 After the Medicinal HerbFAQ 〔(alt.folklore.herbs Newsgroup FAQs )〕 got a good start Larry London (who had a collection on ibiblio) asked if she would do a FAQ for edible herbs as well. So in July 1995 Kress posted the first version of the Culinary HerbFAQ. Shortly afterwards ibiblio asked Kress to host a non-commercial herbal collection and ibiblio would provide WWW and FTP space at a time when private ISPs were prohibitively expensive. Henriette's Herbal Homepage was first published on ibiblio in August 1995 where it lasted until 2005, when it became too popular and moved to its current location. It is one of the oldest herbal sites online, with 47,822 html pages, 2.7 GB of information 〔http://www.henriettes-herb.com/market/site-cd.html Site DVD page from Henriette's Herbal Website〕 and 187,000 unique visitors a month as of 2013.〔http://www.henriettes-herb.com/statistics.html Statistics page from Henriette's Herbal Website〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henriette Kress」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
