[Taxacom] Maintaining records of natural history museum collections

[Richard HARDWICK]

I have just received my copy of Ferrantia vol 51.
(Ferrantia = les Travaux Scientifiques du Musée national
d'histoire naturelle de Luxembourg.)
This time all the papers are about development of, and/or
experience with, the database system 'Recorder'.
'Recorder' is "a comprehensive system for maintaining records of
natural history museum collections"
(http://www.recordersoftware.org/ see also
http://eim.metapath.org/wiki/index.php?title=Recorder_Web)

I have found that there are free downloads of Ferrantia at
http://www.naturmusee.lu/recherche/ferrantia/liste_detail.asp?ID=52

That same url offers the printed version of Ferrantia, which is
much nicer, for only 10 euros. You get the pdf as well, on a
CDROM in the back of the book.
