We are responsible for barcoding and imaging specimens from the following states for this project:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Delaware
- Florida
- Georgia
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Maryland
- Mississippi
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Virginia
- West Virginia
The organization of the collection will require us to vary the specimen selection so we don’t have many random specimens without barcodes and images.
| Folder color | Description | Barcode | Image |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue, Yellow, Purple | West Indies, Mexico, C.Am., S.Am., Gen. Foreign |
No | No |
| Manila and Green | Genus/species lettered on folder | All | Yes, except*(below) |
| Manila and Green | Only genus lettered on folder | ONLY states in project | ONLY barcoded specimens |
| Manila and Green | Tagged as an endangered or threatened species | All | No |
Imaging Exceptions
- Image all specimens that are barcoded, even if they were not supposed to be barcoded.
- DO NOT IMAGE THE FOLLOWING SPECIMENS:
- Rare and endangered species (these should already be marked those off the working list).
- Specimens with the following marks in or near the bottom left corner:
√ = already databased 
=already databased and imaged 
=already databased and imaged \ = already imaged (but, tag and notify the Collection Manager) O = already databased as minimal Ø = already databased as minimal and imaged
Exceptional Specimens
- If a specimen is marked “TYPE” in any way, including type, holotype, isotype, paratype, co-type, etc.,
* and is not already imaged and not filed in a special white cover,
* then – pull it out and bring it to the Collection Manager.
