Hi Fran,
We had DCF project working on our Brtish Flowering Plants
collection. Given the size of the collection and the timescale for the
DCF we had to rationalise our approach. Instead of a single record
for every specimen, we created catalogue records for a selected
record for each species. The remaining specimens were counted
and recorded on the taxonomy record, so at least were are able to
account for every specimen in the collection. Where we had type
specimens, and for some critical groups such as Rubus and
Euphrasia, we catalogued every specimen.
The results can be seen online at

Feel free to get in touch if you want more details about the project.
Malcolm.
