RE: paleonet Storing collections

["Andy Rindsberg" <arindsberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much, Peter. You raised issues that had not even occurred to
me.

What about the convenience of local and visiting researchers? If the
collection comes from a single site (such as the Burgess Shale), there are
advantages both in keeping the material in one place (reducing travel costs
for visitors and allowing direct comparison of all specimens) and in keeping
the material in more than one place (allowing more people to examine at
least part of the collection). What is your opinion on this?

Cheers,
Andrew
