[Nhcoll-l] Labels for Collection

[peter s. miller]

Bernhard,
We use thermal transfer stock for labels. We are now digitizing our collection so photographs of the specimens with their old labels are made in case they deteriorate or come off. That way there is a historical record of their existence. I leave old labels on until “nature” takes them off.

For that purpose we are on the search for new labels (or Maybe Keep ours) We use the Resistall coated paper #36, which is to be said no longer recommended because of it‘s Acid release.
