[Nhcoll-l] Questions about mount and bone storange

[Colby, Julia]

We are hoping to make some improvements in our specimen storage in the future, and I am doing some research to see what our best options are.  I am particularly interested in how other collections store (e.g., do you store them in cabinets? On a shelf? On the wall? Mounted in a cabinet?) the following :


1.       Mounts where the specimen is on a branch that is designed to be clipped to the wall.

2.       Non-articulated skeletal materials, especially from large animals (think elephant, antelopes, large reptiles).
I am interested in both what you do and what you would have done (or what you would do) differently.
Thanks so much!
Julia
