RESUMO: Numerosos estudos palinoestratigráficos, realizados sobretudo na Zona Sul Portuguesa, iniciados durante os anos 90 do século passado e que se expandiram durante os anos 2000 com a extensão da investigação para outras bacias sedimentares, permitiram detalhar bioestratigraficamente diversas sequências estratigráficas do País. Com o objetivo de preservar e difundir as coleções de lâminas resultantes, o património e o conhecimento imaterial destas investigações, o Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia (LNEG) desenvolveu a PALINOTECA LNEG, que constitui um importante arquivo científico nacional. A PALINOTECA LNEG permite não só organizar e armazenar as lâminas resultantes dos estudos palinoestratigráficos, como aceder a um amplo banco de dados palinológicos indexados e em rede. Estas coleções estão em permanente atualização, contando atualmente com cerca de 14000 lâminas registadas e cerca de 2500 para serem adicionadas. Estas coleções são o resultado de inúmeras atividades de pesquisa palinoestratigráfica e também de ensino de palinologia, contando com uma vasta diversidade de grupos de palinomorfos obtidos em estudos nacionais e internacionais. ABSTRACT: Numerous palynostratigraphy studies, mainly in the South Portuguese Zone, started at the end of the last century, and grew during the 2000s, extending the biostratigraphic investigation to other sedimentary basins and improving the biostratigraphic knowledge of several stratigraphic sequences in the country. With the aim of preserving and disseminating the collections, the heritage and intangible knowledge of this research, the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (LNEG) developed the LNEG’s Palinoteca, an important national scientific archive composed of palynological slides, and all the palynological data provided by them. The LNEG’s Palinoteca allows the organization and storage of the slides resulting from palynostratigraphic studies, as well as to access a wide indexed and in network palynological database. These collections are constantly updated, and currently there are 14,000 registered slides and about 2,500 more to be included. These collections are the result of several national and international palynostratigraphic research projects and educational projects, covering several groups of palynomorphs. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

The paper discusses approaches, outcomes and experiences from an ongoing project of digitization, cataloguing and communication of the Ivo Maroević Slide Collection through the cooperation of university teachers and master level students at several courses at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS). Professor Ivo Maroević, PhD (1937 – 2007) was the founder of the Museology Section within the Department of Information and Communication Sciences at FFHS, University of Zagreb. Since the beginning of his teaching career, since 1983, he has created a rich collection of more than 9000 slides. Following the professor's teaching courses, the collection is divided into three sub-collections – Museology, Protection of Monuments and Urbanistic Topics. Ivo Maroević left extensive and structured documentation along with the slides (the slides are equipped with keywords, and the ad hoc classification is developed) that has helped to recognize the significance of the collection and to facilitate its cataloguing and further use. From the very beginning of the project, students have been involved in the digitization and cataloguing of the collection. Students also participate in the structuring of a controlled vocabulary via a multilingual thesaurus. The methods of student engagement and quality control are applied from crowdsourcing projects methodologies, but they were revised and improved concerning the specific needs and requirements of the educational context. Students are currently preparing the collection for its publication through an online multilingual catalogue, to make the collection accessible and visible in international contexts.

The catalogue of cyclopoid copepods collected by A. Damian-Georgescu in Romania and deposited in “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History is presented. It includes 39 species and subspecies belonging to family Cyclopidae (Crustacea: Copepoda). Type material of Eucyclops graeteri intermedius Damian, 1955 is designated. For each species the following information is presented: collecting sites, data on general distribution in Romania and worldwide, and types of inhabited biotopes. Species names are listed in systematical order with indication of current taxonomic status.
