This article presents the digitization of the herbarium collection of the Asteraceae family, housed in the herbarium collection of the Department of Biology at North Kazakhstan University. The study included 200 herbarium specimens collected between 1970 and 2025, including both historical specimens and modern field collections. All data were standardized in the Darwin Core (DwC) format, verified using the GBIF validator, and published through the IPT platform on the GBIF global portal, ensuring open accessibility of the collection and its integration into the international scientific infrastructure.The paper presents the results of an analysis of the taxonomic composition, temporal distribution, and geography of the collections. It was established that the majority of the specimens belong to dominant meadow-steppe genera (Achillea, Pentanema, Centaurea, and Leucanthemum), reflecting the structure of the plant communities of the region. The temporal distribution is characterized by peak activity in different years and covers more than fifty years of collection development. Geographic analysis revealed an uneven distribution of finds across regions, with a predominance of materials from the Kyzylzhar district.The resulting digital dataset is of scientific value for floristic, ecogeographical, and taxonomic research, contributes to the preservation of the herbarium collection, and expands its potential for educational and conservation use.
