specimens and equipment. The adjusters are not sure how to deal with natural history collection specimens. What experience do people have valuating their collections? Are there conventions that natural history collections or their parent institutions use
for insuring collections? If folks could point me in the direction of resources or let me know what they have done, I would be very appreciative!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
