[Nhcoll-l] Proportion of archival material (not specimens) available on the web vs. not available on the web in natural history collections

[Jorge A. Santiago-Blay]

Dear Colleagues:

May I have a sense of what is the guestimated proportion of archival
material (not specimens) available on the web vs. not available on the web
in natural history collections?

Background: Currently, I am involved in several collaborations involving
archival records of generally deceased colleagues connected to natural
history collections or other natural history related endeavors. My strategy
(if web searches fail) is contacting colleagues at those collections (or
their archival units) and ask for help as I believe that a substantial
amount of documents are not yet available on the web (and perhaps will not
be in a long time).

If you have guestimates on the proportion of archival material (not
specimens) available on the web vs. not available on the web in natural
history collections, please send me an email to

blayjorge at gmail.com

Gratefully,

Jorge
