[Nhcoll-l] Rehousing specimens and retaining labels

Fri Jun 4 15:53:58 EDT 2021

This has been a very interesting discussion, and the broader topic of space
and the ordering of collection storage arrays is increasingly problematic.
A few comments followed by a proposal:

1. Saving labels. It is important to distinguish between labels that carry
original information (particularly hand-written labels) and those designed
to be replaced (for example, those produced by a thermal printer). As
Simon, Erik, Dirk, and others have pointed out, the preservation of
handwriting, ink, label style, and label substrate (paper, plastic, etc.)
can all be critical factors in elucidating the history of specimens in a
collection. The links that Laura provided will take you to a 1992 article
by Karla Kishinami on saving labels that provides additional suggestions
for how this can be done, in addition to those provided by Simon and others
in today's discussion. Digitizing old labels is a good practice, but
digitization will not tell you everything you need to know (such as the
paper type) and there is no way to permanently store digital information.

2. Smaller Jars/More Specimens per Jar--proceed with caution if you take
this approach. There is no research done on the necessary minimum ratio of
fluid volume to specimen volume, but anecdotal observations indicates that
it can affect long-term usefulness of specimens. The only data I am aware
of comes from an unpublished Smithsonian report from 1995 in which it was
determined, based on examination of specimens, that the minimum ratio of
fluid to specimens should be 7:3. Cramming too many specimens in a jar not
only affects the chemistry of the fluid (which constantly interacts with
the specimens) but also means more handling and hence more damage to
specimens when you need to get one out of the jar.

3. Collection Storage Arrays--Dean and Rob point have made excellent points
about collection arrangements. Many collections can no longer afford the
luxury of so-called phylogenetic arrangements of specimens. It is a poor
use of space, and increasingly frequent name changes and phylogenetic
re-arrangements mean a lot of time must be spent re-arranging jars. In any
case, the so-called phylogenetic arrangement of a collection is not at all
phylogenetic--I have yet to see shelving or cabinets arranged in branching
sequences. Instead, it is a throwback to the old *scala natura* so beloved
by Agassiz and his fellow Darwin deniers. It is time to give arrangement by
jar size a new look. This system was used half a century or more ago and
found to be difficult to use when location data was kept in awkward card
files, but we have computers for that sort of thing now. The collection
should not be arranged for browsing, it should arranged for efficiency of
storage and retrieval and to provide the best storage environment to
prolong the useful life of specimens. We dan do better than the way we use
collection space now.

4. Storage Furniture--shelving and cabinets used in storage are based on
designs that are centuries old and must be re-thought. One serious
disadvantage to dense arrangements by jar size are that it is usually very
difficult or impossible to monitor individual jars without having to pick
up and move the jars in front that block your view. We need to re-think the
design of storage furniture and on-shelf arrangements to overcome those
problems, for example, as Paul has pointed out in the article he provided a
link for.

5. Do More With Less--Personally, I dislike the phrase "do more with less"
but this is a reality we all must face. Collection care staff growth is not
keeping up with collection growth. Collection storage space is not keeping
up with collection growth, either, nor or budgets. So its time to
re-evaluate the tools we have and how we do things, with an emphasis on the
use of preventive conservation (take a look at "Application of preventive
conservation to solve the coming crisis in collections management" in
Collection Forum, which you can download from
https://spnhc.org/resources/27-1-2/). We need to be more creative about
monitoring, stable storage environments, collection storage array order,
tracking individual specimen use, and many other aspects of collection
management.

PROPOSAL: I am going to propose a workshop or symposium on the topic of
future sustainable collections care practices for the 2022 SPNHC meeting in
Edinburgh. If anyone is interested in participating, particularly via a
presentation or poster on the topic, please let me know. This is a subject
that needs some serious thought and discussion.

Thanks,
John
