Almost six million specimens are housed in the insect                      collection of the Illinois Natural History Survey.  The                         collection is among the largest and oldest in North America and                 contains primary types of nearly 3,300 species.  The collection                 is used extensively by scientists and is a recognized national                  resource.                                                                            This project provides funds to continue the process of                     rescuing the Survey's collection of slides of Thysanoptera                      (thrips) from permanent loss due to severe dehydration of                       material mounted in Hoyer's medium.  It will also provide partial                                                                                               funding for incorporating the backlog of unprocessed and                        unidentified material into the general collection and to                        facilitate the reorganization of the collection during and after                                                                                                the installation of a compactor system funded on a previous NSF                 grant.
