Computerization of the Herpetology Collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University

小行星9419753 比较动物学博物馆的爬虫类收藏是同类收藏中最大和最全面的收藏之一。 世界上超过一半的两栖动物和爬行动物物种都有代表，包括所有家庭的代表。 藏品种类异常丰富，是重要的历史藏品。 国际科学界大量使用该汇编，各大洲科学家撰写的论文每年被引用近50篇。 该项目将使用软件系统MUSE完成收集数据库的追溯捕获任务。 与此同时，使用该系统的持续编目工作将由常设的策展工作人员进行。 在赠款期结束时，预计将重新获得超过30万条记录的整个数据库，并使用计算机化系统充分发挥贷款发票、标签和收款查询的功能。

9419753 Cadle the Herpetology Collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology is one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of its kind. Well more than half of the world's named species of amphibians and reptiles is represented, including representatives of all families. The collection is exceptionally rich in types and important historical collections. The collection is heavily used by the international scientific community, as documented by citations approaching 50 papers per year in papers authored by scientists on all continents. This project will accomplish the task of retrospective capture of the collection database using the software system MUSE. Concomitantly, ongoing cataloguing using the system will be done by permanent curatorial staff. At the end of the grant period, it is expected that the entire database of more than 300,000 records will be recaptured, and loan invoicing, labeling, and collection queries fully functional using the computerized system.
