Hi Everyone,

Here in the Netherlands there is a possibility for those who donated an insect collection to use the value of the collection for tax reduction. I am trying to prepare a policy document on this subject in which I want to specify the prices Naturalis is going to apply to specific categories of insects like mounted, unmounted, type material. Anyone out there who has done this exercise already and/or has a price-list which is used for similar purposes.

Thanks in advance for responding

Met vriendelijke groet / With kind Regards,
