<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Our museum currently has a small collection of plant specimens (about 30000 specimens). Our new curator for the collection is still fairly inexperienced in managing them<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">.
Therefore, we would like to seek some advice on <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
how to effectively store and classify them </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">in a limited storage
space:</span></span></p>

Which system of classification of plant specimens are more commonly used in the world nowadays? We are using the list provided in Brummitt 1992 We know that in older institutions with bigger collections, the classification of specimens should be more complicated.
However, with newly established museum like us, we are facing with problems of choosing a classification system to meet the demand of not only our Vietnamese researchers but also foreign ones who frequently have collaboration with us.</span></span></p>

</span></span></p>
<p>- Arranging specimens: Currently, we are storing our specimens by family in family folder in compactors' shelves becaused of limited floor space, and arrange these folders alphabetically. However, we are having difficulties in how to arrange them into the
limited shelves, since we do not have enough shelf for the full list of families in Brummitt or any other classification system.<br>
