Non-NU Email Every "view" of a living collection is temporary. Specimens, species lists, databases, etc. change all the time and have to be updated from time to time to reflect those changes. And every view of a collection has costs and benefits. I would love to have all of my drawers imaged. In a few seconds anyone could evaluate the state of Family X in the collection. About how many specimens of each species, about how many specimens that are unidentified, etc. Is there a large variety in the unIDed material, or is it all the same thing? Is it worth requesting a loan, is it worth visiting? I looked through North Carolina's unsorted gigapan beetles and found specific specimens I wanted to borrow for research. Recently, a researcher from New Zealand was looking through photos of our residues and found specimens of a rarely collected bug he was doing research on. I think an amazing public display would be a big screen with either a slide show of full drawers, or a way for people to navigate from drawer to drawer. Image if people could scroll through your butterflies. That might peak some interest in a kid getting started. If you work on a lot of different projects its easier to see a lot of potential. I see it as a huge advantage.
