<div>Hi, Thomas,</div>
<div>Are you planning to continue to store the specimens in the herbarium cabinets in which they are currently housed? We moved the University of Iowa Herbarium (IA), which contained >200,000 specimens, to the Iowa State University Herbarium (ISC) by carefully
packing the specimens within the cabinets. We followed the protocols used during a move of specimens/cabinets at the University of California (UC-JEPS) as described in the book <i>Managing the Modern Herbarium</i> -- <a href="https://www.universityproducts.com/managing-the-modern-herbarium.html"><font color="#0563C1"><u>https://www.universityproducts.com/managing-the-modern-herbarium.html</u></font></a>;
the chapter on moving herbaria was written by Barbara Ertter.</div>
<div>You may wish to also post your message to the HERBARIA listserv described and accessible from this site: <a href="https://www.herbariumcurators.org/herbaria-listserv"><font color="#0563C1"><u>https://www.herbariumcurators.org/herbaria-listserv</u></font></a>.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Herbarium move</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hello all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>in the coming years the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is planning the move of its Herbarium. It's a relatively small collection with roughly 50.000 specimens which are partly in a modern state and partly in an historical state of preparation.</div>
<div>So I was wondering if any of you has Advice on how to best transport them?</div>
<div>I heard of museum which vaccum them with special systems which don't apply pressure. Does anyone has any experience with that or any other good ways to move them?</div>
<div>Thanks in advance</div>
<div>Thomas</div>
