Natural history collections of mollusk shells are subject to a form of degradation known as OByneOs DiseaseO if they are improperly housed. ByneOs disease is a crystalline efflorescence on the surface of the shells that is formed by the reaction of acid vapors that are released by wood, cardboard, and paper storage materials with the calcium carbonate of the shells themselves. It is promoted by high and fluctuating temperature and humidity. The Pacific mollusk collection of the Bishop Museum is the most comprehensive in the world, containing over 6,000,000 specimens. As such, it is a major resource for studies in biodiversity, conservation, and phylogeny. However, the collection is suffering from ByneOs disease. This award will provide the materials and staff to properly conserve the collection by carefully cleaning the efflorescence from the shells, transferring them into modern, acid-free trays, boxes and glass vials that will be stored within existing and new steel collections cases, and making new, computerized labels for the collections. The outcome of the project will be a well curated, computer-catalogued and properly conserved collection that will be available for study and research well into the future.

如果不正确地容纳软体动物壳的自然病史收集，则会受到一种被称为Obyneos Diseasto的降解形式。 Byneos疾病是壳表面上的结晶流出，是由木材，纸板和纸存储材料与壳本身的碳酸钙释放的酸性蒸气形成的。它是通过高温和湿度促进的。 Bishop博物馆的太平洋软体动物系列是世界上最全面的，其中包含超过6,000,000个标本。因此，它是研究生物多样性，保护和系统发育的主要资源。 但是，该系列患有串行疾病。 该奖项将通过仔细清洁壳的清水，将其转移到现代的，无酸的托盘，盒子和玻璃小瓶中，并将其转移到现有和新的钢收集案例中，并为收藏品制作新的计算机标签。 该项目的结果将是一个精心策划的，计算机代表的且保存正确的收藏，可以在未来进行研究和研究。
