[Nhcoll-l] Sleeves for Lepidopterans

[Anderson, Gretchen]

Hi Katrina,  we have a large collection of papered leps.  We have just taken about 6 months to go through all of them because of an infestation issue.  All of the papered leps have been put in plastic ziplock bags, frozen and their boxes thoroughly cleaned. All original documentation has been retained and is in association with the massive collection.  I am copying our Entomology Curator on this, and she can provide you with additional information!

Good Luck.
Gretchen

Hi all,

I was curious whether there are collections out there that store sleeved lepidopteran material (like Odonata). We have a large amount of butterflies that are stored in paper and glassine envelopes that would take several lifetimes to spread, and we neither have the time nor space to go that route. We like the idea of glassine sleeves as a more permanent and protective way to store our enveloped material, but wanted more input from the community on this.

Thank you for any input you might have :).
