<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Hello!</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Soon we’ll be reorganizing our ornithological collections, pulling specimens from five different spaces and putting them into new cabinets in a room that has been emptied to make way for all of the birds. Previously, our ornithological
material seems to have been organized based on some taxonomic scheme, though locations have shifted as cabinets moved and spaces were repurposed. We’re excited about the opportunity to start over and organize specimens in new cabinets in a way that would facilitate
research access. How are birds commonly organized these days, and if taxonomically, based on what reference? Our birds and eggs are global in origin, so the old AOU numbers won’t cover everything, if that used to be an organizational standard.</p>
