[NHCOLL-L:1247] Collections on-line

[Darren J. Mann]

Dear all,

as part of an ongoing project to make all our Type holdings 
available on-line, the Hope Entomological Collections have 
recently gone on-line with a list of the collections housed within
the department and the entomological archives held in library.

The database is searchable, and give a basic listing of the 
contents of each acquisition. The database is far from perfect, 
I've already found a few errors, however, its a start.

We would appreciate any comments, good or bad. 

regards

Darren
