Concluding Curatorial Phase of the Woods Hole Fish Collection and Computerization of the Collection

该项目涉及将WHOI收集的大约114,000条鱼类记录的数据捕获到MUSE中，这些记录将被转移到哈佛大学以及MCZ的较老鱼类收集。输入后，将使用集合打印输出根据集合验证数据。该数据库将向科学家和学生开放，并将用于收集管理目的。该项目将完成比较动物博物馆鱼类收藏的计算机编目，特别是从伍兹霍尔海洋研究所转移过来的成鱼和幼鱼的收藏。这些藏品在文献和质量上都是无与伦比的，对鱼类生物学、多样性和生态学的研究至关重要。这些收藏的计算机化将使科学家和学生更容易获得它们，并增加这些鱼类收藏在研究和教育中的作用。

The project involves the data capture into MUSE of approximately 114,000 records of fishes in the WHOI collection being transferred to Harvard as well as the older fish collection at the MCZ. After entry, the data will be verified against the collection using the collection printout. The database will be made accessible to scientists and students and will be used for collection management purposes. %%% This project will complete the computer cataloguing of the fish collections at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, especially the collection of adult and larval fishes transferred from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. These collections are unparalleled in documentation and quality and are critical to research on fish biology, diversity and ecology. The computerization of these collections will make them much more accessible to scientists and students and increase the role of these fish collections in research and education.
