[Nhcoll-l] HERBARIA: Associated Large Materials (i.e., fruit, twigs, bark)

[Megan King]

Hello all,

I was wondering if any other herbaria have established methods for dealing with large material that isn't mounted on a standard herbarium sheet, such as pinecones, bark samples, large fruits, etc.?

I am looking for different ways that collections may do this and pros and cons of each if you have them. I noticed NY stamps their mounted sheets with "SEE FRUIT COLLECTION" and also barcodes the fruits separately. What way does your collection indicate that there is additional material stored separately and do you use the same barcode, do you image the material and if you do how do you link the two together.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Megan
