Mounting
Specimens to be mounted may be dropped off at the counter height cabinet on the 4th floor near the lunch table, or in the mounting room, at second table from the door.
- Please separate staff collections (i.e., any collections that were processed here) from nonstaff collections (those made and processed by staff at other institutions, e.g., gifts for identification that you received).
- Indicate on droptag: “staff” or “nonstaff”, and whether you want the specimens returned to you or filed into the herbarium.
- If a collection has separate fruit or material for two sheets, make sure there are enough labels.
