[Entm-beu] Fwd: insect cabinet donation

Hi, all.

A former UCR entomology student (1980's era) is looking to give their
insect collection to the Museum, but we can't use the cabinet that the
collection is in.

The photo below shows it's a smaller cabinet, holding only a small number
of drawers.

We're offering the cabinet essentially free to whoever might need one, and
no one on the faculty seemed interested so now it's basically up for grabs.
Anyone who is interested should *contact me directly ASAP*, and we'll see
about figuring out a good home for it. Note that *if it holds Cornell
drawers, then the drawers will also be included*, as the Museum does not
use that size. There is still some question about the logistics; it might
require someone to drive to Wrightwood to pick it up, which is why I say
"essentially free". We won't charge anything, but might ask that you pick
it up and bring it back. I know I can't lift it by myself. ;-)
