[NHCOLL-L:2144] Destructive sampling protocols

[mzfashm2 at mail1.mcc.ac.uk]

Dear colleagues,
I am writing a piece on issues concerning destructive sampling of 
historic specimens (viz. in the molecular age), particularly in 
relation to bird collections. If your institution has produced any 
policies or guidelines, I should be very interested to hear of them; I 
should also be very interested to hear any personal views (these 
would remain anonymous if specified). I know that the 
Smithsonian's policy is already published on the internet.

I hope that this does not pose too great an inconvenience: bin it if it 
does!

Yours,
Henry
