9320397马丁洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆（LACM）是美国第二大甲壳类动物收藏库。这个广泛的世界级研究收藏，其中一部分以前被称为艾伦汉考克基金会甲壳类动物收藏，包含世界上最大的东太平洋十足甲壳类动物（螃蟹，虾，龙虾）收藏。本提案要求的资金主要用于(1)临时人员，以帮助将这些无与伦比的十足虫收藏从南加州大学校园内的当前存储库转移到LACM。需要额外的资金：(2)购买档案质量的罐子、盖子和标签来重新装瓶，其中大部分目前被存放在迅速变质的桶顶或金属顶罐子里；(3)两个锁定的、不透光的、环境稳定的金属柜，用于将所有类型标本与其他甲壳类标本分开存放；(4)一个中等质量的立体显微镜，用于对混合标本（包含几个分类群的）进行粗略分类；(5)货架、车厢贴标材料，包括打印机一台。

9320397 Martin The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM) is the repository of the second largest collection of Crustacea in the United States. This extensive world-class research collection, part of which was formerly known as the Allan Hancock Foundation Crustacea Collection, contains the largest collection of eastern Pacific decapod crustaceans (crabs, shrimps, lobsters) in the world. This proposal requests funds primarily for (1) temporary personnel to help physically transfer this incomparable collection of Decapoda from its current repository on the campus of the University of Southern California to the LACM. Additional funds are requested for (2) purchasing archival quality jars, lids, and labels to rebottle the collection, much of which is currently housed in rapidly deterioration bail-top or metal-topped jars, (3) two locking, light-proof, environmentally stable metal cabinets for housing all type-specimens separately from the other crustacean holdings, (4) one medium quality stereomicroscope for rough sorting of mixed collections (those containing several taxa), and (5) material for shelf and carriage labeling, including one printer.
