[Nhcoll-l] Numbering unmounted taxidermy

[Kirsten Nicholson]

Hi Heather,

Normally we remove the tag that's attached to any mounts when they go on
display. We place them in a special file folder and we have files (both
paper and digital) for all displays.  We document what specimens are on
display, have multiple pictures each with associated other paperwork so
that when the display comes down we can positively ID each specimen for
return to the collection (and reattachment of the tag). We track all of
this information in our database as well.

Sincerely,

Kirsten
