If you are interested in our holdings, please reach out to me and/or Megan McCuller. What questions can be addressed using these collections? Where to even begin? WE begin by getting the word out that we exist. We are but one collection. Think of the power of networks of natural history collections (e.g., NCMNS+Virginia Museum of Natural History+Florida Museum+Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History+etc! #museum #museumcollections #scicomm #crustacea #curation

Every so often we stumble across a specimen record that makes us laugh for days. This is one of them. We recently acquired the South Carolina DNR’s Southeast Regional Taxonomic Center marine collection, and are working to integrate the metadata into our database. #crabs #crustacea #crustaceans #MuseumCollections #museum #CollectionsCare #curation #crustmas #25daysofcrustmas #malacostraca
