9527968牛顿这个项目将通过提供182个新橱柜和1,763个新抽屉来存放标本，从而改善菲尔德自然历史博物馆的固定昆虫收藏。劣质的旧存储托盘也将被现代档案材料制成的托盘取代。这些藏品将被转移到菲尔德博物馆新建造的空间，在移动过程中，鳞翅目和其他非鞘翅目标本将进行重组。不明材料将由策展人和来访的科学家进行鉴定。该项目完成后，固定的昆虫收集将更容易被科学界和自然保护界使用。

9527968 Newton This project will improve the pinned insect collection of the Field Museum of Natural History by providing 182 new cabinets and 1763 new drawers to house the specimens. Inferior, old storage trays will also be replaced with trays made of modern, archival materials. The collection will be moved into newly constructed space in the Field Museum, and while the move is going on, the Lepidoptera and other non-Coleopter specimens will be reorganized. Unidentified material will be identified by curators and visiting scientists. Upon completion of the project, the pinned insect collection will be far more accessible for use by the scientific and conservation communities.
