[Nhcoll-l] Labels for Collection

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Bernard

As I have posted many times on this listserv we have been very happy with our thermal transfer printer system for wet collections.  We have been using this system in our wet collections for over 15 years now and are still very happy with the results.  I can take a 15 year old label out of a jar and place it next to a brand newly printed one and can discern any difference between the two.  I have attached an email that contains all details regarding the system.  Let me know if you have questions after reading it.

As far as old labels, I would simply digitize them in high quality color and then discard.  In this day and age of digitization I don’t see any utility to keeping old labels once you have captured the label digitally.  You are not losing anything.

Hope that helps

Andy

Dear All,

we are moving our wet-collection to a new place soon. I wanna take the chance to check alle the labels and specimens. For that purpose we are on the search for new labels (or Maybe Keep ours) We use the Resistall coated paper #36, which is to be said no longer recommended because of it‘s Acid release.

We would like to know what you are using, and if you can recommend the Tyvek Tags for a wet Collection.
Another Question is, what is best used to preserve historic labels, ours are in a good condition, but a lot are falling off and they are not sealed or anything.

Thanks in Advance,
all the best Bernd
