[Nhcoll-l] histology slides

[Katherine Maslenikov]

Hi All,

   I'm curious how other collections handle requests to archive 
histology slides.  We typically archive any slides or preparations made 
from specimens in our collection, but I've had a request to donate a 
collection of slides used in fish maturity studies.  There are no 
voucher specimens, but the slides support several publications.  The 
publications do not state that the slides are deposited at our museum, 
so I don't know that anyone would ever come looking for them to verify 
any findings from those publications. Still, they seem a reasonable 
thing for us to archive, assuming they have all associated data.
   I'd love to hear what other folks are doing with such requests.

Thank you,

-Katherine
