4: Immediate short-term (less than 5 years) storage container replacement needed. Present containers are inadequate. Curate in the short-term with plastic buckets, whirltop bags, or similar. |
3: Specimens contained in museum-grade long-term (greater than 5 years) storage containers. Jars need new closures (e.g. replace Bakelite and metal lids). |
2: Transfer to museum-grade long-term storage containers. Replace or transfer to new jars and glass vials, replace cotton and closures. |
1: Containers are museum-grade and meet highest curation standards. |

4: New labels needed immediately (original labels in poor condition, paper torn/worn, legibility poor). |
3: New labels needed within next 1-2 years (original labels beginning to wear, pencil writing fading, low quality paper was used). |
2: New labels needed are as a result of curation and accretion of collection. |
1: No new labels needed at present. |
