conversion of the LFL collection catalog and management program from DOS-based
MUSE to Windows-based SPECIFY have been delayed for logistical reasons (new
computer was originally budgeted for FY2001). Similarly, delivery of updated printed
and dBase versions of the collection catalog to the Interagency Database Management
Program (IDMP) has been deferred to FY2003. No additional funding will be required
for these delayed tasks.

Fall 2001 ISMP collections were identified, counted, measured, cataloged, and stored,
and the resultant data recorded in databases and summarized on schedule (see Appendix
A for summary of results). Printed data reports and copies of computer database files
(dBase) for these collections were submitted in March 2002 to the source agencies, Utah
Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR, Moab, Michael Hudson) and U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS, Grand Junction, Frank Pfeifer and Charles McAda); copies of
the database files also were submitted to IDMP (Charles McAda).

Curation of larval and other small-fish collections in FY 2002 included: (I) annual fluid-
level and container checks for over 77 ,000 lots of preserved UCRB specimens, (2)
maintenance of the collection catalog, and (3) management of access to specimens and
associated data. Appendix B lists the study-year sets ofUCRB collections that were
cataloged during FY 2002, and subsequently through November 18, 2002.

Efforts to assure the future permanency of the collection continued in FY 2002.
Prospects remained promising through spring 2002 for a move of the LFL Collection,
along with other Colorado State University natural history research collections, to
campus facilities to be renovated specifically for these collections. However, state and
tmiversity budget cuts made since last spring have indefinitely postponed these plans.
Associated efforts to establish a combined administrative unit and budget for all
university collections have also been stymied.

VII. Recommendations: We recommend continued annual support of Project 15 with
sufficient funds for processing newly preserved collections covered by this project
(currently just fall ISMP collections) and on'going maintenance and management
(curation) of all UCRB specimens held by LFL.

VIII. Project Status: On-track and ongoing.
