Comments: The collection is currently housed in a basement stairwell, but is generally secure. There is a potential serious threat should flooding of the basement area occur. The present location is acceptable, but the collection should be rehoused at a higher level as part of a long term storage documentation and conservation plan. The herbarium specimens (fungi) are currently on loan to Liverpool Museum (A59).
