[Nhcoll-l] seeking repositories for personal collection data

[Tocci (Lewis-Gentry), Genevieve E.]

Jodi,

I'm not completely sure, but you may be able to either contribute to an existing project in Symbiota or start your own. If you do that you would want to be sure to indicate where they are and then update it when they get deposited somewhere else. (This is true regardless.)

You may also be able to directly publish on GBIF

Just some ideas to look into. I agree with Charlie that it is unlikely an institution will host the data for collections they do not have on hand. 

Good luck!
Genevieve

Jodi,

Not exactly sure about the premise, however, I don't believe that I would
be willing to maintain the data in a personal collection without the
specimens as vouchers. I maintain a small collection of mollusks. Those
which do not involve my research are transfer to the Carnegie Museum;
specimens and data. Those over which I continue to maintain ownership will
be transferred to the Carnegie at some in the future. They will then get
the specimens and all associated data. I would imaging if I wanted to make
the data available now, I would set up a personal webpage and post it
there.
