[Nhcoll-l] Weird data in bird collection

[Sabine Stöhr]

Dear Colleagues,

we have some weird data in our old bird collection database and I wonder if any of you have come across this acronym. In the field for inventory status of bird skins it says "C²U” in some records. We have been puzzled by it for years. It may be an obscure local shorthand from the days when computers could only handle very short strings. I’m hoping, it is something more general that someone recognizes. We cannot be sure which language this may be either, it could be Swedish or English words that are abbreviated like this. Both languages occur in our databases.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Best regards,

Sabine Stöhr
