In my experience its not just lack of resources and staff that's the problem with smaller museums, it's a lack of desire. I think the idea of collecting specimens is beyond most young curators and the ones that I have met seem apathetic. Of course they have no idea that what is in front of them took years of sacrifice and patience to acquire and is the result of a lifetimes dedication.

O'h you are indeed so right about the sacrifice, patience, and un-bridled lifetime dedication (passion)...
I think only "dyed in the wool" enthusiasts, along with some specialists, and maybe a few dedicated professionals truly understand the real "passion" or love put into a well prepared, labelled, and categorized collection.
