[Nhcoll-l] Sand collection database?

[Heather Ouellette]

Hello all,
Recently I found that there is a collection of sand samples at Harbor Branch. There are almost 1,000 samples, from beaches on all 7 continents. All were collected from the 1960s through mid 1990s, by multiple individuals, and collated by Orville Brim. Most of them have detailed information about the collecting localities.

This is a unique collection, but I'm not sure how to share this collection and its data with the scientific community. Are there online geology databases like Symbiota/GBIF? Would this data be of use or interest to anyone?
