[Nhcoll-l] Strategic plan/vision for the collection community

[Derek Sikes]

Recollect everything that doesn't already have modern specimens, so it is
digitized as part of the preparation process, has highly precise
geocoordinates, and DNA-quality tissues saved. I like the vision of museums
as active biodiversity inventory processing centers.
