[Nhcoll-l] Ranking of largest collections -- HELP

[Singer,Randal Anthony]

Mark Sabaj might be a good contact for this. He made a list of all collections for ASIH. I'm sure in the process he got total specimen values as well.

Please post this to the listserv

Hi again all, I was really impressed and excited by the feedback for my project collecting examples of newly-described species with long shelf lives. It was great! (But keep them coming too.) I had another question. I don't know if this is empirically known or somewhat debatable, but I'm trying to make a list of the top 5 natural history collections in the US, and in the world. So, two lists. And I mean in terms of size, or number of specimens. Please weigh in. I'm assuming NMNH, AMNH, the Field for the US, but who's next? And in the world, I just don't know: the NMNH, the BMNH, the AMNH? I don't know. Share your thoughts. I'm at cjkemp at gmail.com<mailto:cjkemp at gmail.com>, or respond on the listserv. Thanks in advance! -- ck
