Upgrade of the Collections Facilities of the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology

9631295加德纳该项目将提高内布拉斯加州大学国家博物馆哈罗德·W·曼特寄生虫学实验室的标本储存和编目质量，并纳入最近捐赠给寄生虫学实验室的其他几件藏品。幻灯片和小瓶将被修复和重新标记，瓶盖将被更换，标本将被转移到最近扩建的收集室的防火、气候控制的箱子里。使用的方法将是最新的档案技术，将把藏品保存得很好，直到未来。此外，这几个收藏品将在一个共同的计算机化系统中编目。这一努力的结果将使HWML的工作人员能够向包括医疗和兽医客户、其他机构的研究人员和普通公众在内的各种用户提供身份识别服务、研究数据和教育信息。对该项目的支持是由NSF的系统学与生态学研究收藏项目和内布拉斯加大学共同提供的，后者最近为该空间的翻新提供了资金，并为NSF奖项提供实物和金钱匹配。

9631295 Gardner This project will upgrade the quality of specimen storage and cataloguing of the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology (HWML) of the University of Nebraska State Museum, as well as incorporate several other collections that recently have been donated to HWML. Slides and vials will be repaired and relabelled and vial lids replaced, and the specimens will be transferred into fireproof, climate-controlled cases in a recently expanded collection room. The methods used will be up-to-date, archival techniques that will conserve the collection well into the future. In addition, the several collections will be catalogued in a common, computerized system. The results of this effort will allow HWML staff to provide identification services, research data, and educational information to a wide variety of users, including medical and veterinary clients, researchers at other institutions, and the general public. Support for the project is in partnership between the Research Collections in Systematics & Ecology program of the NSF and the University of Nebraska, which recently funded the renovation of the space and is providing in-kind and monetary matches to the NSF award.
