Rikuzentakata City Museum suffered catastrophic damage by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, and the museum had nearly lost many valuable specimens that have a possibility of contributing to the development of study and the recovery of post-earthquake. To salvage the herbarium specimens of that museum, the total of 30 museums and universities in Japan were engaged in the restoration operation of the herbarium specimens. Nobody experienced such a restoration work before, and useful information on the restoring method was not accumulated though it was required to salvage those specimens carefully and quickly. In this report, we record the restoring method constructed in a series of work implemented in the Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo in detail, and we want this to become a reference when a similar situation is generated in the future. Moreover, after it is re-recognized that there are many local museums with academic importance, the problem with which we have to solve in the future is considered.
