<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">
Recently I’ve been fielding a lot of questions about why our collection should retain a physical specimen once it has been digitized (e.g., CT-scanned, photographed, x-rayed, etc.). I’m curious how often other museum professionals are asked this question and
what your general responses are for justifying the retention of a physical specimen. Why do you tell people it’s important to retain a specimen?</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">
If anyone knows of article that have addressed this specific question I would appreciate references so that I can have them on hand for particularly curious visitors.</p>
