The entomological collections of the Bishop Museum are a                   unique national resource for purposes of research, documentation                and identification of insects.  They are the third largest                      entomological collections in the U.S., containing more than 13                  million specimens and nearly 13,000 primary types.  The regional                emphasis is on the Pacific Basin, and the collections are                       unequalled for this area.                                                            Prior NSF support to the collections provided significant                  expansion of storage equipment (cabinets, drawers) and technical                assistance and allowed exceptional progress in collections                      management, organization, curation and processing of the                        backlogged materials.                                                                This project will provide partial support for rehousing of                 the collections in compactorized storage and modern, air-                       conditioned quarters.  This will result in radical improvements                 in space utilization, organization and management of the                        collections, as well as in staff efficiency.  Separate facilities               will be provided for the general pinned collections, alcohol-                   preserved material, specimens mounted on slides, and type                       specimens.
