Message-ID: <90e235d176594bcf94404235097ff525@loodusmuuseum.ee>

Dear all,

We have just preserved well our old collection of large crustaceans. Some of them have already identified, but we have like 15 of them, who does not have taxon name with them. We here are not experts of them and would like to have a little help. Can somebody look over these pictures and help us to identify these ones. If we have information about the location, then these are also added on the picture.

Pictures are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KWeExhdCihr0vupc_ZenX82NCf0QDcTU?usp=sharing

Many thanks and a happy new year,

Message-ID: <CA+cpwrSW=+5V7e6Ts5GNb6_Wx97CD+7r0a--BeK_nmyPeoDiyw@mail.gmail.com>

We recently established a museum internship for undergrads (i.e., a course)
at our university-based NHC. A student would typically work for 3 hours per
week at the museum, per credit enrolled. The course has proven to be more
popular than expected(!), and we're now refining our rubric and clarifying
our expectations. I wonder if anyone on the list has a similar document
they'd be willing to share. Do you offer internships at your museums?

Thankful for any examples,

Message-ID: <ME2PR01MB5508FC0DD988F899CC0321FBEE6A2@ME2PR01MB5508.ausprd01.prod.outlook.com>

Hello all,

Happy New Year! It's been very quiet here of late, so I am guessing many people are still enjoying their holidays?  For those of you back at work, I have a question regarding cleared and stained specimens.

We have about 20 or so small frog specimens that have been cleared and stained, and which to me look to be stored in glycerine. The glycerine in some of the jars looks like it may have been diluted (or else have absorbed some water), as it doesn't look as syrupy as it could.

These specimens need to be rehoused to new glass jars (they are currently in old plastic containers probably dating back to the 60s or 70s).  Some of them will require topping up. My first thoughts are to place them in their new jars in pure glycerine, but I would appreciate any thoughts or advice on this topic. I really don't want to create a new problem by trying to solve an old one!

Thanks so much!

Cheers,

Tonya

Hi Tonya,

Happy New Year to you too! 

Your specimens are most likely stored in glycerine but I often use 70% as my final storage solution, as full strength can some cause indenting, due to a slight implosion, of delicate skulls.  I also add a crystal of menthol as it forms a surface film that prevents any fungal spores from ?germinating? so you may notice a smell of some fungal inhibitor. 

 A specific gravity test should give you a rough idea of the concentration, otherwise I use the Schleren Optics test which involves making up a series of concentrations from 50% to pure in 10% steps. By pipetting a drop of a given concentration into a small sample of unknown concentration you can see whether the drop mixes in easily with the mystery solution or forms the wavy mixing lines (Schleren Optics) if less compatible. But there may be a refractometer available that will measure glycerine concentrations more accurately.

You will likely get several other suggestions as to storage media.

With all good wishes, Sumon

Hello All,

I am reaching out as I am looking for advice on disposal of a dermestid
infested musk ox mount. We are unable to treat the infestation as it is
pretty severe and it is up for deaccession and disposal. This is the first
time in over a decade we have had to dispose of a large mount. In compiling
the condition report, arsenic testing was done and it came back arsenic
negative.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

the theme of open archives and open science. Topics may include but are not
limited to the following:

?       Partnership between scientists and archivists in appraisal of
modern scientific records

?       Barriers for creating open archives

?       Silences and gaps in scientific archives

solutions, generate ideas, and build partnerships. All attendees are
welcome and encouraged to join and contribute. You don?t need to submit a
proposal to participate in the unconference.



*Call for Proposals: *

Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections online course begins Feb 5 on MuseumStudy.com



Join instructor Angela Kipp for the 4 week online course Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections. Working with a previously unmanaged collection is one of the most challenging and rewarding projects in the career of a museum professional. Challenging because of the variety of issues like leaking roofs, missing documentation, and the question as to whether there is actually a floor underneath those piles of objects.

Rewarding because of the variety of new discoveries and the skills that are learned, along with the satisfying feeling of getting things done.

The process of securing the collection and making it accessible needs the mindset of a collections manager and that of a project manager. This

4 week course helps you to get a grip on your unmanaged collection by developing a plan to tackle it, defining achievable goals by creating logical exits, and finding ways to keep the project going even if you are limited in time, staff and money.

For more information visit our website:

https://www.museumstudy.com/managing-previously-unmanaged-collections



Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean 4 week online course begins Feb

5 on MuseumStudy.com



An unkempt museum or historic house is not appealing to the visitor nor is it healthy for the staff and collection. In this 4 week online professional development course instructor Gretchen Anderson will lay a foundation as to how to clean objects and facilities safely. We will explore a variety of subjects, including health and safety for the staff and the objects, cleaning methods for a large variety of collection types common in art & cultural institutions and the importance of documenting what you do.

One former participant said, "This class was so helpful! This was such a great resource! For the first time since I started working here, my staff really seems to understand why I ask them to do what we do. It has really been the start of some great conversations on site and we will 100% use the techniques learned."

Cleaning and sterilizing the museum is in the news these days. Please join us for this timely class to look at methods to protect both the collection and your visitors.

Apologies for cross posting!

*SAVE THE DATE* & *CALL FOR PAPERS*

The Annual Conference & AGM of the Natural Sciences Collections Association
will be held on *Thursday 18th and Friday 19th April 2024* in the Oxford
University Museum of Natural History, UK, and online. The first day will
include the AGM,
presentations, and lightning talks. The second day will include
presentations in the morning, followed by gallery and collection tours in
the afternoon.

*Trials and Triumphs: sharing practice across the museum sector*

*The #NatSCA2024 conference invites proposals* for presentations on a broad
range of themes. We seek ideas from the natural history collections
community, educators, collaborators, and beyond. We are interested in
practical lessons, unique solutions, new collaborations, and to show what
has and
hasn?t worked with projects.  We are looking for presentations that touch
on every aspect of museum operations, including audience engagement,
collections management practices, changing laws, social justice,
restitution and decolonisation, environmental issues, global challenges,
research and academic engagement.

This practical conference aims to celebrate triumphs and amplify successes
in museums, but also highlight the pitfalls and lessons learned from
situations that didn?t go as planned. We will prioritise papers that focus
on sharing ideas, tools, and guidance rather than simply reporting results.
We want to make this conference practical and useful, so please try to
reflect this in your abstract.

While we have a focus on natural science collections, we recognise that we
can learn from others in the wider museum sector, and we welcome
submissions from anyone who wishes to share techniques and ideas with
broader relevance and application.

Papers can be presented in any of several formats: A 20-minute presentation
(consisting of a 15-minute talk followed by 5 minutes of Q&A) or a 5-minute
lightning talk. Talks (both lightning and longer) can be presented in
person or by submission of a pre-recorded presentation, with the option of
an in-person or live stream Q&A (via Zoom).

*Deadline for submission: 5pm GMT Friday 19th January*

Please send the attached form to: conference at natsca.org

Thank you,

 The NatSCA 2024 Conference Committee

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Acrylic boxes for anatomical specimens in glycerol
Message-ID: <AM7PR01MB6610E1A5583EA1344673A9E586712@AM7PR01MB6610.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com>

Hello all,

I am looking for some information regarding acrylic boxes for the storage of medical collection anatomical specimens preserved in glycerol. The objects are still used for teaching and are handled by medical students.

In the past some of the boxes may have been topped up with alcohol and a few of the boxes have begun to warp and leak.

I would like to hear if anyone, especially those based in Europe, have a supplier that has custom made such boxes for their collection.

I am also, keen to hear tips and advice from those with experience making their own acrylic boxes for such specimens.

Many thanks for your help,

Ruth

Hi Ruth,

Pity about the topping up with alcohol causing the deterioration of the boxes!

Do you know what percentage of glycerol is being used ( I use 70%)?  I am not the best person to advise on finding replacements and my information is probably outdated!

With all good wishes, Simon

Hi Ruth,

At UCL Pathology Collections, we make ours in-house (rarely as it takes a full day to construct) or we order them through an acrylic manufacturing supplier, Display Developments Ltd, https://www.displaydevelopments.co.uk/.  Ordering from a supplier is more cost effective as one specimen pot costs less than a day of my time.  We?ve worked with this supplier to design a specimen pot to our specifications, such as having a removable backplate that the specimen is sewn onto.  The base of the pot is left detached so you can mount and pot the specimen in your lab.  You can likely find an EU supplier that does the same type of acrylic manufacturing if ordering from a UK company is too onerous.

All the best,
Emilia

Hi Ruth,



At UCL Pathology Collections, we make ours in-house (rarely as it takes a full day to construct) or we order them through an acrylic manufacturing supplier, Display Developments Ltd, https://www.displaydevelopments.co.uk/.  Ordering from a supplier is more cost effective as one specimen pot costs less than a day of my time.  We?ve worked with this supplier to design a specimen pot to our specifications, such as having a removable backplate that the specimen is sewn onto.  The base of the pot is left detached so you can mount and pot the specimen in your lab.  You can likely find an EU supplier that does the same type of acrylic manufacturing if ordering from a UK company is too onerous.



All the best,

Emilia

Hi Ruth,

Pity about the topping up with alcohol causing the deterioration of the boxes!

Do you know what percentage of glycerol is being used ( I use 70%)?  I am not the best person to advise on finding replacements and my information is probably outdated!

Hi all,

why not using rectangular borosilicate jars (battery jars) with plane glass closure and sealing them tightly (either alsirol, bees wax, etc.)?

https://www.dwk.com/duran-museum-jar-with-ground-glass-plate

It is not that many specimens; calculating the staff time for additional monitoring/maintenance - self-customising (!) these container (as Emilia explained) is a fortune AND does not improve the quality of the specimens (in acrylic containers).

Perhaps worth considering ?

With best wishes
Dirk

Hi all,

I am ordering non-absorbent cotton wool for stuffing study skins and
ammonia for degreasing bones for the first time for my lab, so I don't have
previous order information to go on. Are there recommended sources for
these items for these uses? I've especially gotten stuck on what kind of
ammonia to order since there are so many different formulations for
different uses. Thanks!

Best,

Hi everyone,

We have a fish lot that was originally IDed to genus and cataloged as
such.  A researcher has followed up and IDed all individuals to species,
splitting cleanly into new lots.  Is there a standard guiding which (if
any) of these new lots should carry the original catalog number and which
should receive a new one?  This catalog series is strictly integers, so I
can't assign 123A, 123B, etc. without changing the series format and
affecting other things (working in Arctos).

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Angela & Co

I cannot comment on fish.? But this is a common case in botany. It is 
about so-called *multi-gatherings*.? It happens that on one herbarium 
sheet several specimens may have been attached. Which may belong to 
different species (!).? When we digitize these, what do we do?

My first advice is to split them apart and attach them to different 
sheets. But that is a bit risky and could lead to a loss of the 
gathering history.

What we do in practice is to attach on the herbarium sheet multiple 
identifiers (on QR codes).?? None of the original identifiers will be 
repeated but all will be preserved.?? In other words, each specimen can 
carry multiple identifiers.? This is not difficult, but normal in a 
situation when an old (unsorted) collection is being digitized.? I do 
not know if this would work for fish (in liquid jars).

So my advice is abandon all old identifiers and assign a new identifier 
for each newly digitized specimen.? But also do keep the old 
identifier.? Every specimen can carry multiple identifiers.

Thanks for a good question.? We meet this every day when digitizing an 
old herbarium.

Hi Angela,

If you re-catalogue specimens out of an existing lot, just make sure you 
record the catalogue number of the original lot in a "Previous Catalogue 
Number" field or some such in the new catalogue records.

We've just separated several lots of /Clepsydrops/ (a primitive 
synapsid) into over 700 individual catalogue records. Trying to keep 
catalogue records confined to individuals is our goal with this.

Best,

Bill

I often have multi-taxon lots from the field, or old previously cataloged lots for which a specimen or more is removed and recatalogued.  Besides adding the old numbering to the new catalog lots, or assigning number to specimens sorted and removed from a large sample, I always make a thermal label facsimile of the original label so the "chain of custody" remains visually intact with the specimen.  This way if a transcription error occurs in the database one can verify the correct data back to the source of the information.

Best, Eric

Hi Angela & Co

I cannot comment on fish.  But this is a common case in botany.  It is about so-called multi-gatherings.  It happens that on one herbarium sheet several specimens may have been attached.  Which may belong to different species (!).  When we digitize these, what do we do?

My first advice is to split them apart and attach them to different sheets. But that is a bit risky and could lead to a loss of the gathering history.

What we do in practice is to attach on the herbarium sheet multiple identifiers (on QR codes).   None of the original identifiers will be repeated but all will be preserved.   In other words, each specimen can carry multiple identifiers.  This is not difficult, but normal in a situation when an old (unsorted) collection is being digitized.  I do not know if this would work for fish (in liquid jars).

So my advice is abandon all old identifiers and assign a new identifier for each newly digitized specimen.  But also do keep the old identifier.  Every specimen can carry multiple identifiers.

Thanks for a good question.  We meet this every day when digitizing an old herbarium.

Hi Angela,
I?m not familiar with doing this with fish, but if it were me, I would not assign the original catalog number to any of the subsequent lots. I would assign each lot a new catalog number, include the original catalog number as another identifier and the relationship would be ?same lot as? (maybe there is a more appropriate one). You can encumber the original catalog record so that it isn?t searchable externally but still exists for internal collections management purposes. Maybe reach out to the Arctos team on GitHub if you haven?t and see if they have any ideas about it. This might also be a case for using the ?entity? feature in Arctos where the entity could consist of the multiple cataloged lots to indicate that they were once one lot. Not sure if that?s an appropriate use for that feature.

Hope all is well at the Bell!

Hi Folks,
Fish person here (though I do love me some snakes).

Here?s what the practice of cross-referencing looks like for fishes in the UF (Specify) Database.

Remarks for UF 190450, the original or ?donor? lot:

[cid:image001.png at 01DA4F85.92886D30]


Remarks for UF 249625, the newly created or ?recipient? lot:

[cid:image002.png at 01DA4F85.92886D30]


As far as any guidelines that we have in place:


  *   When a lot is split for the parsing out of types, we reserve the original number for the primary type (if involving one).


  *   Otherwise, we reserve the original number for the greater number of specimens -- except when doing so betrays the original determination.


  *   History of a lot in publication may influence/countermand some of the above.

Relative to the middle bullet point:

In the example above, UF 190450 had 1 fish correctly identified. Three redetermined lots got kicked out.

As others on the list have remarked: Clear, succinct annotation is key to reducing confusion for future workers. Less is more.

Rob

(P.S. We distinguish tissue sample voucher specimens from the same lot by the part taken. Thus the mention of ?caudal? in the above).

(P.P.S. Always sign your remark so future workers know who to blame/disparage). ?

We have a fish lot that was originally IDed to genus and cataloged as such.  A researcher has followed up and IDed all individuals to species, splitting cleanly into new lots.  Is there a standard guiding which (if any) of these new lots should carry the original catalog number and which should receive a new one?  This catalog series is strictly integers, so I can't assign 123A, 123B, etc. without changing the series format and affecting other things (working in Arctos).

Thanks for your thoughts.

Angela,
I agree with Bill, it is very important to keep the catalog numbers linked.

I have split specimen lots many times due to new identifications (usually
anuran larvae, which are usually cataloged by lot). My preference is to
leave one group of specimens under the original catalog number and assign
new catalog numbers to those that are separated out, being sure to note the
linkage in the catalog records for both the original group and for any that
are extracted and re-cataloged. There is no reason to re-catalog all of the
specimens and, in my experience, that only leads to confusion if someone
looks for the specimens under the original number.

I followed the same procedure as above when a specimen needed to be
separated from the original lot because it was illustrated, prepared as a
cleared and stained specimen, etc. Keep the original number with the lot,
assign a new catalog record to the exception.

... perhaps worth adding to the excellent answers of the dear colleagues that it is worth saying how many specimens have been moved (especially, if these are type lots), e.g.

ABD 23456 (8 ex.) ex ABD 12345 (10 now 2); the new label of lot ABD 12345 would have the same information in the remarks ABD 23456 (8 ex.) ex ABD 12345 (10 now 2).


Type status should be added if required, e.g. ABD 23456 (8 ex., paratypes) ex ABD 12345 (10 now 2, non-types)

if the fish have been individualised in the jar (e.g. gill tags), the information on which fish-IDs/specimens have been moved should be documented/added as well.

In case that these inventory entries also appear in an hand-written catalogue, the catalogue entries should be updated as well; also worth adding is how made this change (date and name - in the database, this is usually recorded through the log files

Hope this a useful addition

My first advice is to split them apart and attach them to different sheets. But that is a bit risky and could lead to a loss of the gathering history.

What we do in practice is to attach on the herbarium sheet multiple identifiers (on QR codes).   None of the original identifiers will be repeated but all will be preserved.

So my advice is abandon all old identifiers and assign a new identifier for each newly digitized specimen.  But also do keep the old identifier.  Every specimen can carry multiple identifiers.

Thanks for a good question.  We meet this every day when digitizing an old herbarium.

We often split lots, usually because they have been determined to contain more than one taxon but sometimes because they are combined primary and secondary types (the primary type keeps the number, the others get a new one). In all cases, however, we first check as far as possible on the web to see whether the number has been published, and if so we make sure to keep it with the taxon the publication referred to.

Message-ID: <CAJiXy22P6yBr6_c8Xqk4_TVBVDHm0auwQjgPE2ha1WnWDXB0og@mail.gmail.com>

Hello NHColl,

     I am searching for a specimen of mammal collected in California in
about 1828 by Paul-Emile Botta. It was used to describe the gopher *Thomomys
bottae*. The paper was written by Joseph Fortun? Th?odore Eydoux and Paul
Gervais (Voyage autour du monde de la corvette La Favorite. Mammiferes par
Mm. Fortune Eydoux et Paul Gervais. Magasin de Zoologie, VI, 1836.). I have
inquired with the MNHN in Paris, the zoology collection at the Sorbonne
Pierre and Marie Curie campus, the zoology collection at the University of
Montpellier, and the British Natural History Museum with no luck. I have
found some of Botta?s specimens. His herps seem to have gone to the MNHN
(they have his specimen of *Charina bottae*, which is the type). At least
some of his birds were acquired by the 3rd Duke of Rivoli, who sold them to
Thomas Wilson in 1846 who then donated them to the Philadelphia Academy of
Sciences. They have types of the Roadrunner and Anna?s hummingbird, both
taken by Botta in California. They do not have any of Botta?s mammals.
   Before I go deeper down this rabbit hole, I am wondering if anyone on
NHColl knows where Botta?s mammals ended up, or could recommend an archive
or museum I might inquire with, or perhaps a detailed biography of Botta? I
have sent an inquiry email to the archives at the MNHN with no response
yet.

Thanks,

Depends on the specifics of your question.  Oldest based on oldest specimen or oldest based on inception?  If it is the former then you could do a search on www.gbif.org<http://www.gbif.org> for digitized data that would tell you what the oldest specimen is.  Note that this would only be the digitized component of collections but given that vertebrate collections are well digitized would get you pretty close.  If you questions is the latter, then that is a much harder prospect to answer but I would suspect that someone in the bird world would have a good idea.

The AMNH was founded in 1869, but we have specimens older than this from purchases of collections. The oldest dated bird specimen that I?ve found in AMNH is a Eurasian Blackbird (Turdus merula) from 10 September 1811, this was from the Brehm Collection and came to AMNH via purchase of the Rothschild Collection. I suspect there are older specimens in Philadelphia.

Jorge,

As Andy said, the answer to this question depends on whether you mean the
oldest individual specimens, or the oldest collections, or whether you mean
the first bird specimens collected in what is now the US but might be in
other museums. Just one example?by 1828 there were birds from North America
in the Museo di Storia Naturale (Florence).



There are many specimens of birds from what is now the United States in
European museums, and records of specimens that are no longer extant. The
catalog of the Tradescant Museum in London  for example records ?A black
bird with red shoulders and pinions, from Virginia.? There is no date of
collection, but the catalog (*Musaeum Tradescantium*) was published in 1656.



Early bird collectors working in what is now the US included John Bartram
(1699-1777), who collected in Pennsylvania and Alexander Wilson
(1766-1813). See:



Halley, Matthew R. 2022. Rediscovery of the holotype of the American
Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis atricapillus (Wilson, 1812), and a commentary
about Alexander Wilson?s contributions to the Peale Museum. *Proceedings of
the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia* 167(1):233-240



Prince et al. 2003. Stuffing Birds, Pressing Plants, Shaping Knowledge:
Natural History in North America, 1730-1860. *Transactions of the American
Philosophical Society*, new series, 93(4):1-113).



The Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806) returned with many bird
specimens, most (or all?) of which were sent to the went to Peale Museum in
Philadelphia, where they were exhibited. When the Peale Museum later
closed, the specimens were purchased by P.T. Barnum for his museum in New
York, and most were destroyed in the two disastrous fires that wiped out
the Barnum museum.



Burns emphasized the collecting by Peale, who also exchanged specimens with
European museums, and exhibited a large collection by 1805 that included
most of the then-known birds of the Eastern us (Burns, F.L. 1932. Charles
W. and Titian R. Peale and the Ornithological Section of the Old
Philadelphia Museum. The Wilson Bulletin 44(1):23-35.).



Genoways and Ratcliffe reported in detail on the Stephen Long Expedition of
1819-20, which included Thomas Say and Titian Peale (who made bird
collections) (2008. Engineer Cantonment, Missouri Territory, 1819-1820:
America?s first biodiversity inventory. Great Plains Research 18:3-31).



If you are looking for the oldest bird specimens from the US that are in US
collections, I recommend starting with the Academy of Natural Sciences in
Philadelphia,
https://ansp.org/research/systematics-evolution/ornithology/ornithology-collections/



One point about early bird collecting to keep in mind is that prior to
around 1820 birds were prepared as taxidermy mounts, not as study
specimens, and taxidermy mounts are much more difficult to maintain
long-term than study specimens.

There are several good reasons to keep a bound register for accessions,
including permanence, security, legal standing, and sustainability.



The problem with databases (and all other information stored
electronically) is that it is not permanent or secure. Ultimately, whether
it is maintained on a limited-access hard drive or in cloud storage, all
electronic information storage is based on the use of plastic resins and
magnetized metallic particles, neither of which are permanent, and neither
of which will endure as long as acid-free paper and good ink. The only way
to keep electronic information readable is to re-format the data every few
years, which is extraordinarily expensive over time, and which will result
in data loss with repeated software and hardware changes. Re-formatting of
electronic information is rarely a budget line in museums.



A hand-written, bound ledger of accession information has clear legal
standing because a bound ledger is very difficult to alter without leaving
physical evidence behind; by contrast, electronic files are very easy to
change without a trace. Should an institution ever have a legal issue that
involves proof of acquisition, the bound ledger of accessions will be a far
more supportive document than an electronic file.



It is important to emphasize that at present, there is no way to preserve
electronically stored information for the next 20 or 30 years, much less
several hundred years in the future, but we know that properly cared for
paper documents will last at least 500 years. An example: Walter Isaacson
wrote biographies of both Steve Jobs and Leonardo Da Vinci, and
Issacson has pointed
out that 7,200 pages of Leonardo?s notebooks that are extant (about a
quarter of the pages of the original notebooks) is ?a higher percentage
after five hundred years than the percentage of Steve Job?s emails and
digital documents from the 1990s that he and I were able to retrieve.?



Add to this that printing electron information on paper using available
desktop printers does not produce a permanent copy. Desktop laser printers
do not produce the same quality copy as do commercial laser printers, and
no laser printing technology equals the permanence of letterpress printing
or hand-writing on acid-free paper with good quality ink.



Museums, particularly natural history museums, should be concerned about
using sustainable practices when possible. In this regard, paper-based
records have essentially a one-time carbon impact (the production of the
paper and ink), while electronic records have an on-going carbon footprint
for as long as they are maintained. Current estimates are that storing just
1 GB of digital information has a carbon cost of about 2.25 kg of CO2 per
year. As museums continue to generate electronic information they need to
consider what this means in terms of contributing to climate change.



Electronic information has many advantages (ease of searching, editing, and
sharing chief among them), but we need to keep in mind that electronic
information is not secure, permanent, or sustainable. Museums should
carefully consider which documents should be paper-based for archival
purposes (for example, accession files, catalogs, and loan documents),
which should be both (such as catalogs and loan documents, for ease of
searching and sharing), and which should be born-digital (responses to
queries, office memos, correspondence that does not require a legal
signature, etc.).

Hi Tommy,

Most vascular plant collections in the CCH2 portal (
https://cch2.org/portal/collections/index.php) have measurementOrFact
extensions that hold phenological data.

Here is a particularly well-curated example:

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] co-locating collections
Message-ID: <CA+cpwrSp+xJ-Z35sSgWa54GX9bbV_cswVSLv2Ag6t8JMSSFKjw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello fellow collection enthusiasts.

We are in the early stages of planning a new building, and there is an idea
to co-locate our herbarium and arthropod collection (currently in
separate buildings, managed by separate departments, in separate colleges).
I see a lot of benefits here => sharing certain resources and knowledge,
sharing staff, facilitating collaboration on research, exhibits, teaching,
etc. We also have similar storage furniture and, presumably, similar HVAC
needs.

What are some considerations we should make as we move forward with
planning? Are there reasons to keep the collections physically separated?
Could they be in one room, with plants on one side and insects on another?
Could we share a specimen prep room? I'm not a botanist, so I might be
overlooking our respective collection needs.

I'd love to hear about anyone who had similar experiences. I suppose one
issue might be competition for space (a race to expand).

Thankful for any feedback,

Greetings Willem;

John Simmons has provided an excellent rationale for retaining a paper copy of the accession book.  While no one could have done it any better, I?d also like to add the U.S. National Park Service [NPS] accession book practice.

The NPS museum program has 385 parks with museum collections that are located throughout the USA.  These include national parks such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, Everglades, Mesa Verde, to national historical parks such as Chaco Culture and Hopewell Culture, to presidential and historic homes, battlefields, and many others.  Collections range from archeology, archives, art, and history, to paleontology, geology, botany, and more.

NPS museums follow collections management policies and procedures published in the NPS Museum Handbook at National Park Service - Museum Management Program (nps.gov)<https://www.nps.gov/museum/index.html>.  The Museum Handbook, Part II, Museum Records covers documentation, including guidance on the required hard copy accession book in Section U.,1. What is the accession book? stating:

? The Accession Book, Form 10-256 (Figure 2.16) documents the source for every object in the park?s museum collection. It contains the sequential log of transactions that prove NPS ownership of museum collections... All material in the park?s museum collection must be part of an accession in the accession book. You haven?t officially accessioned the material until you enter the accession in the accession book. Treat your accession book as a legal document. It may be used in a court of law, if necessary. The value of the book as a legal document lies in the uninterrupted sequence of entries, without missing pages or erasures. The accession book is one of your most important museum record-keeping documents. It is designed for permanence. The pages are made of high quality rag paper. Each page is string-bound into a hard cover??  The accession book is kept in a locking, fire resistive cabinet when not in use.

Once the accession transaction is entered into the paper/hardcopy accession book, staff at parks and collections centers then proceed to enter accession, catalog and other data into the Interior Collections Management System [ICMS] automated collections database.

Best wishes en groete!

There are several good reasons to keep a bound register for accessions, including permanence, security, legal standing, and sustainability.

The problem with databases (and all other information stored electronically) is that it is not permanent or secure. Ultimately, whether it is maintained on a limited-access hard drive or in cloud storage, all electronic information storage is based on the use of plastic resins and magnetized metallic particles, neither of which are permanent, and neither of which will endure as long as acid-free paper and good ink. The only way to keep electronic information readable is to re-format the data every few years, which is extraordinarily expensive over time, and which will result in data loss with repeated software and hardware changes. Re-formatting of electronic information is rarely a budget line in museums.

A hand-written, bound ledger of accession information has clear legal standing because a bound ledger is very difficult to alter without leaving physical evidence behind; by contrast, electronic files are very easy to change without a trace. Should an institution ever have a legal issue that involves proof of acquisition, the bound ledger of accessions will be a far more supportive document than an electronic file.

It is important to emphasize that at present, there is no way to preserve electronically stored information for the next 20 or 30 years, much less several hundred years in the future, but we know that properly cared for paper documents will last at least 500 years. An example: Walter Isaacson wrote biographies of both Steve Jobs and Leonardo Da Vinci, and Issacson has pointed out that 7,200 pages of Leonardo?s notebooks that are extant (about a quarter of the pages of the original notebooks) is ?a higher percentage after five hundred years than the percentage of Steve Job?s emails and digital documents from the 1990s that he and I were able to retrieve.?

Add to this that printing electron information on paper using available desktop printers does not produce a permanent copy. Desktop laser printers do not produce the same quality copy as do commercial laser printers, and no laser printing technology equals the permanence of letterpress printing or hand-writing on acid-free paper with good quality ink.

Museums, particularly natural history museums, should be concerned about using sustainable practices when possible. In this regard, paper-based records have essentially a one-time carbon impact (the production of the paper and ink), while electronic records have an on-going carbon footprint for as long as they are maintained. Current estimates are that storing just 1 GB of digital information has a carbon cost of about 2.25 kg of CO2 per year. As museums continue to generate electronic information they need to consider what this means in terms of contributing to climate change.

Electronic information has many advantages (ease of searching, editing, and sharing chief among them), but we need to keep in mind that electronic information is not secure, permanent, or sustainable. Museums should carefully consider which documents should be paper-based for archival purposes (for example, accession files, catalogs, and loan documents), which should be both (such as catalogs and loan documents, for ease of searching and sharing), and which should be born-digital (responses to queries, office memos, correspondence that does not require a legal signature, etc.).

.. and this also applies for good field notes. Especially, when you work in remote areas. e.g. in Africa. While I always had a computer with me, I copied in the evening my handwritten locality notes and specifically tissue sample lists I prepared during the day. More then once I found myself in the situation that I could (and had to) rely on my handwritten files when accessioning the material back home in the collection.

These documents should be filed as ordinary accession files - which they are. And compared to my excel entries, I could trace and reconstruct glitches in my field lists more easily. We taught our students in the field always to rely on the pencil as your best friend.

Maybe worth adding...

With best wishes

Paul Larson at the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission suggested these lids to me when I had the same question a few months ago.
I haven?t gotten around to ordering them yet, but they use them in FL and the measurements suggest they would fit our 1 Gal + ? Gal jars here too.

Woops, misread the question, you want the jars, not the lids. I don?t think I?ve seen any unfortunately, most companies seem to have switched to 110mm.
Sorry! Hopefully someone else has a supplier.

Paul Larson at the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission suggested these lids to me when I had the same question a few months ago.
I haven?t gotten around to ordering them yet, but they use them in FL and the measurements suggest they would fit our 1 Gal + ? Gal jars here too.

Despite extensive searching (back in 2009 with multiple institutions involved) we have been unable to find anyone who produces these any longer.  The main issue is guaranteeing enough demand for someone to reinvest in the mold necessary to make them.

Hi Caroline,

I work with Paul at the FBC (FWRI collection) and do our purchasing. I went on an online goose chase trying to find tall, wide-mouth (120mm) gallon jars, and failed. If anyone has found a supplier, please let us both know! On the same topic, please let me know if anyone has a source for 64oz wide-mouth(120mm) jars-the closest I've found is 110mm.

However, I did find some shorter "square" wide-mouth(120mm) gallon jars: Anchor-Hocking cracker jars. We've bought them from Fillmore Container (https://www.fillmorecontainer.com/h85725-case4anchor.html). I can confirm that the 120-400 lids (BerlinPackaging, https://www.berlinpackaging.com/lp120-120-400-pp-white-ribbed-caps-unlined/) do fit and thread on these. They are only sold with their metal lids, unfortunately, but we replace those with the linked lids.

They don't fit so well if you're using any additional caps in the jars. We have some red caplugs that we're using until we run out, and sometime the lids fit with the caplugs in, but sometimes not. However, they do fit without the caplugs.

Unfortunately we've only been using these glass jars for about a year, so I can't speak to their longevity yet. But so far they seem solid. Do check your shipment when it arrives, however. Our one shipment had 3 slumped/disfigured jars that I wouldn't trust specimens in.

Apologies if I've goofed on the formatting for replying to the listserv, I'm receiving the digest and am a little unfamiliar.

Cheers,

My experience is that when tightened, there is a deflection that does not make a good seal.  I do use them, but in many cases I ?seal? the jar with electrician?s tape ? a nuisance so I avoid using gallon jars unless absolutely necessary.

We use 120 mm screw-on PP lids with F217 liners, which we get from Kols. They hold OK, but overtightening can cause the skirt to spread, dishing the lid and potentially compromising the seal. 120 mm seems the upper size limit for flexible screw-on lids; above that, they should either be metal or some other kind, such as clamped or two-piece.
In my experience, the older two-piece 120 mm plastic lids with a separate disk and ring (like 2-piece canning lids, or those on Kilner jars) do a better job. This is because the disk was evenly pressed onto the mating face regardless of whether the ring distorted or not. You can dress the jar rim with vacuum grease, too, which guarantees a good seal. These lids have not been made for many years, though.

External.

My experience is that when tightened, there is a deflection that does not make a good seal.  I do use them, but in many cases I ?seal? the jar with electrician?s tape ? a nuisance so I avoid using gallon jars unless absolutely necessary.

Paul Larson at the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission suggested these lids to me when I had the same question a few months ago.

I haven?t gotten around to ordering them yet, but they use them in FL and the measurements suggest they would fit our 1 Gal + ? Gal jars here too.

Hello Everyone, I am interested in restocking our 1 gallon glass jars that fit 120mm lids. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a website that sells them. Can anyone point me to where these are still available? Thank you! Caroline Haymaker,
