<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have recommendations for publications that address the ethics of “personal” natural history collections (i.e., specimens that were legally collected, but sit on desks as curios), particularly when an individual is at a museum
or institution with an established collection? I am specifically thinking about specimens that were collected as part of federally or state funded research programs, and that were collected under the auspices of the institution at which the individual works.
I would like to put together a workshop on scientific collecting for incoming graduate students, and it would be nice to have some readings that address this issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
