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.
  • Check whether it is an independent entry. If duplicated merge with the selected and entry and close this issue.
• [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)
• [ ] 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)
• [ ] If data has been published on GBIF but isn’t linked to GRSciColl, notify Marie (tag ManonGros), she can link the data.
• [ ] Translate outcome of your checks into labels. See guidelines here: https://github.com/gbif/collection-mobilization#readme

Initially, it was planned to associate the museum as a separate collection with the Biological faculty of BSU. However, having once again talked with the administration of the faculty and museum, it was decided to register it as a separate organization. Collections will be added separately

[OlegBorodin77]

There was a discussion with the museum director about updating information on the organization and collections in GRSciColl. Work has been started to prepare a dataset for the ornithological collection stored in the museum.
