[Rockhounds] Numbering Specimens (WAS: Paint)

[John Siebel]

Thanks Don,

I plan on keeping this as simple as possible. I am numbering all specimens 
sequentially with no repeated numbers regardless of prefix or suffix. The 
prefix will identify the collection as unique to Julie and I. We're 
discussing what this should be. Sorta like naming a baby I would assume. The 
only suffix I have in mind is an "F" for fossils. We'll see where that goes 
before I write them in stone..so to speak.

I am currently entering everything in Excel as I know Julie can finesse this 
data into whatever database works best.

I understand the acid free paper as it doesn't yellow, etc., but I'm unclear 
about the glue. Does Elmer's fit the bill?
