[Nhcoll-l] [External] Re: Terminology

[Lance McBrayer]

Our collection, and many others at universities, would call this a
"teaching collection".  The specimens are useful for identification,
outreach, etc., but have no data. Thus if they are damaged via student
handling or lost, then the consequences of that damage/loss are less
significant.
