A grant has been awarded to the Research and Collections Section of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences (NCSM). Under the direction of Dr. Stephen D. Busack, the museum will augment the computer-based catalogue for its approximately 1.5 million fish and aquatic invertebrates. Most components of NCSM's collections represent recent consolidation of several regional collections from North Carolina and other states, and these components continue to grow significantly each year. NCSM collections are, therefore, a unique resource for documenting regional biodiversity. The completed catalogue will enable rapid and cost-effective collection management operations, greater depth of service to the scientific and regulatory communities, and international sharing of the Museum's data through the worldwide web. In the rapidly developing Southeast, documentation, timely and accurate reporting of the extent and distribution of biodiversity is essential.The Museum's collections focus on the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States and adjacent Atlantic Ocean. Computerized data for fishes currently represent 9415 lots (117,195 specimens). About 40,612 additional lots are only ledger cataloged and 86,000 lots are not cataloged. While 27,000 lots of aquatic invertebrates are computerized, approximately 8800 lots remain in backlog. NCSM Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates collections management staff will verify and upgrade specimen identifications and collection data , add GIS information, and provide the data to computer entry personnel. Data will first be entered into a temporary database and proofed by curatorial staff, and later will be transferred to the permanent database. The NCSM's relational database will provide these GIS-linked data to resource managers and scientists in a timely manner, greatly enhancing the utility and frequency of use of these data for research, environmental management, and education.

北卡罗来纳州立自然科学博物馆（NCSM）的研究和收藏部分已授予赠款。 在Stephen D. Busack博士的指导下，博物馆将增加基于计算机的目录，约150万只鱼类和水生无脊椎动物。 NCSM藏品的大多数组成部分代表了北卡罗来纳州和其他州的几个区域收藏的最新整合，每年这些组成部分继续显着增长。 因此，NCSM收集是记录区域生物多样性的独特资源。完整的目录将实现快速且具有成本效益的收集管理操作，对科学和监管社区的服务深度以及通过全球网络的国际博物馆数据共享。在迅速发展的东南部，文档，及时，准确地报告生物多样性的程度和分布至关重要。 鱼类的计算机数据目前代表9415批（117,195个标本）。 大约有40,612个额外的批次仅分类为分类，而86,000批没有分类。虽然计算机化了27,000个水生无脊椎动物，但在积压中仍保留了大约8800批次。 NCSM鱼类和水生无脊椎动物收集人员管理人员将验证和升级标本的标识和收集数据，添加GIS信息，并将数据提供给计算机入口人员。数据将首先输入临时数据库并由策展人员进行证明，然后将其转移到永久数据库中。 NCSM的关系数据库将及时地向资源经理和科学家提供这些与GIS相关的数据，从而极大地增强了这些数据用于研究，环境管理和教育的效用和频率。
