Compiling list of electronic databases in Museums, Botanic Gardens, etc.

Hello everyone,

Foolishly, I have agreed to try to compile a list of Museums, Botanic Gardens, etc., involved in specimen data management and delivery. Please could you send me details of anything you know about any organisation, as follows:

Name of organisation Product(s) used (in-house or commercial) Age of application (if known) Purpose of database Approximate number of records to date (if known) Database, web-only or both Whether accessed via a portal (if so give details if known) Research or development programmes (with the potential to lead to a database or web application)

I will be very grateful for any information you can send me.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Adrian Rissone A.Rissone@nhm.ac.uk
