[Nhcoll-l] E.R Wagner: Insect collector

[Mark O'Brien]

Years ago, Ross Arnett published a directory of insect collectors.  I think
it last came out in the early 1980s.  I'll bet some enterprising person
could find a copy and turn it into a digital resource.    But even then, it
did not include deceased collectors.  In an ideal world, it would be great
to have such things at our fingertips, but it will eventually come along
once most of the collections have their data online.
