1. Find out if the information is complete and up to date:

• [x] Check the homepage if available or google the institution name in the country. Check if all collections for that institution are represented in GRSciColl.
• [x] Add missing collections/information to the institution on GRSciColl directly in the registry. If some collections are digitized, put the information in the GRSciColl Notes field.

2. Check if the data is also in GBIF:

• [x] If there are GBIF occurrence records linked, check from which dataset/publisher they come. Is the institution a registered publisher? Or do the records come from a third party publisher? Are all the collections in GRSciColl also in GBIF? (add comments to the issue)
• [x] If no record is linked to GRSciColl, look for the institution name on the GBIF list of publishers. Is there any corresponding publisher? Have they published any data? (add comments to the issue)
• [x] If data has been published on GBIF but isn’t linked to GRSciColl, notify Marie (tag ManonGros), she can link the data.
• [x] Translate outcome of your checks into labels. See guidelines here: https://github.com/gbif/collection-mobilization#readme

• Added 2 collections:
  • Fossil Mammals Collection — Branch Asenovgrad | code: BG-NMNHS-PZO. NOTE: The collection and institution code of this collection are the same as of Fossil, Subfossil Mammals and Palaeoanthropology The only way to differentiate between them will be the storage fields.
  • Recent Mammals — Micromammalia — Branch Asenovgrad | BG-NMNHS-MAM - also has a twin in Sofia at NMNHS
• Updated name, description, code NMNHS (same as NMNHS), and contacts both at the level of the institution and the collections
• Asked a contact overviewing the digitisation process at the level of the parent institution (NMNHS) about the strange InstitutionCode (AMB). Answer: They do not know where AMB came from.
• No GBIF occurrence records.

Waiting for feedback on the collection code. Answer: The code of the institution should be NMNHS as its parent institution.

Hi @spalp, you should leave the issue open unless you decided to delete or merge the institution. This allows us to make metrics and find the possible data mobilization targets.

We can link the occurrences to the GRSciColl entries when publishing them on GBIF <3
