An award is made to Tulane University to reconstruct the field notes of R.D. Suttkus and associate them with specimens in the fish collection. The collecting efforts of Suttkus and his collaborators amassed over 6 million specimens that is recognized as a National Center for Ichthyology Research. The field notes documenting critical environmental and locality characteristics for collected specimens were destroyed as a result of flooding by Hurricane Katrina. This project will facilitate the addition of rich sampling and environmental data, of the kind Suttkus and his associates recorded in their field notes, with the specimens housed in the Tulane University fish collection. This will enhance the value of the collection allowing researchers to use the data to address important scientific and societal needs such as research on fish species distribution, habitat conservation, environmental restoration, and species response to global change. The project will build on the researchers achievements in student training and broadening participation in collections-based endeavors.The R.D. Suttkus Fish collection database at Tulane University, currently hosted on a Microsoft SQL Server, will be extended to support the additional fields and tables needed to capture the images and information contained within the field notes and logbooks. Field logbook and transcribed data sheet images will be captured using a NIKON Coolpix p90 v.1.0 camera mounted on a copy stand. Each image will be 4,000 pixels wide by 3,000 pixels wide with a bit depth of 24, horizontal resolution of 300 dots per inch and vertical resolution of 300 dots per inch. The RAW image file for each page photographed as well as an uncompressed TIFF will be preserved. A project technician and a number of student interns working in the summer will enter data from the field notes to the fish collection database and produce web content of Suttkus's professional career for an expanded Suttkus Memorial Website.

向图兰大学颁发了奖励，以重建R.D. Suttkus的现场笔记，并将其与鱼类收藏中的标本相关联。 Suttkus及其合作者的收集工作积累了600万标本，被公认为是国家鱼类学研究中心。 田径记录了由于卡特里娜飓风洪水而摧毁了收集标本的关键环境和当地特征。 该项目将促进萨特库斯（Suttkus）及其同事记录在其现场笔记中的富含抽样和环境数据，并在图拉恩大学鱼类收藏中放置了标本。 这将提高收集的价值，使研究人员能够使用数据来满足重要的科学和社会需求，例如有关鱼类物种分布，栖息地保护，环境恢复以及物种对全球变化的反应的研究。 该项目将基于研究人员在学生培训方面的成就，并扩大了基于收藏的努力的参与。目前在Microsoft SQL Server上托管的Tulane University的R.D. Suttkus Fish Collection数据库将扩展以支持捕获字段注释和日志书中包含的图像和信息所需的其他字段和表格。 现场日志和转录的数据表将使用安装在复制架上的尼康酷像p90 v.1.0摄像机捕获。 每个图像的宽度为4,000像素宽，宽3,000像素，略深24，水平分辨率为每英寸300点，垂直分辨率为300点每英寸。 将保留每个页面的原始图像文件以及未压缩的TIFF。 一名项目技术人员和许多在夏季工作的学生实习生将从现场注释到Fish Collection数据库中输入数据，并为Suttkus职业生涯的Web内容提供扩展的Suttkus Memorial网站。
