[Nhcoll-l] Unused catalog numbers

[Sarah K. Huber]

For various reasons, we have a few hundred catalog numbers that were never assigned to collection objects. What do your collections do with unused catalog numbers? I'm debating if I should use these numbers when cataloging our backlog/no data specimens, or if I should just ignore these numbers and never assign a collection object to them.
