NHMO Bird collection

The NHMO Avian collection at the Natural History Museum in Oslo, Norway is maintained and curated as four separate sub-collections, viz. the Preserved specimen, Eggshell, Sperm and DNA bank collections. In the collections database the sub-collections are, however, integrated and a single accession can contain items from one or more of the sub-collections. The Preserved specimen and Eggshell collections are traditional collections, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, respectively, while the DNA bank and Sperm collections were initiated only in towards the end of the 19th century (the DNA bank also contains some older material subsampled from e.g. the Preserved specimen collection).Most of the older parts of the collections have been collected during several scientific expeditions. In recent years, the main growth of the collection has come from the many blood and sperm samples collected as part of research projects in the Sex and Evolution Research Group (SERG) at the museum.The collection is databased in Corema, a software that has been developed in close cooperation between the NHMO and the developer, Digital Forvaltning AS (https://www.coremadb.com/). An accession generally refers to a given individual at a specific place and time; for each accession, one or more items may exist. Examples of item types include preserved skins, feathers or eggshells, blood, tissue or sperm samples, footage of live sperm motility, microscope slides prepared for sperm morphometric analyses, testes and extracted DNA.

挪威奥斯陆自然历史博物馆的NHMO（Natural History Museum in Oslo, Norway）鸟类馆藏，分为四个独立子馆藏进行维护与典藏管理，即剥制标本馆藏、蛋壳标本馆藏、精液标本馆藏与DNA库馆藏。
不过在馆藏数据库中，这些子馆藏已实现整合，单个登录批次可包含来自一个或多个子馆藏的样品。
剥制标本与蛋壳标本馆藏为传统馆藏，其历史分别可追溯至17世纪与18世纪；而DNA库与精液标本馆藏则直至19世纪末才设立，其中DNA库亦包含部分从剥制标本馆藏等材料中取样获得的老旧样品。
馆藏中绝大多数老旧样品均由多次科学考察活动采集所得。
近年来，馆藏规模的主要增长来源于该博物馆性与进化研究组（Sex and Evolution Research Group, SERG）开展的多项研究项目中收集的大量血液与精液样品。
该馆藏采用Corema系统进行数据编目，该软件由NHMO与开发商Digital Forvaltning AS（https://www.coremadb.com/）合作开发。
一般而言，一个登录批次对应特定时间与地点下的单个个体；每个登录批次可对应一个或多个样品项。样品项类型包括剥制标本、羽毛或蛋壳标本、血液、组织或精液样品、活体精子活力影像、用于精子形态计量分析的显微玻片、睾丸组织与提取的DNA等。
