Dear colleagues,
 
Registration is open for Transmitting Science’s live online course “Care and Management of Natural History Collections”, which may be of interest to people in this list.
Dates and schedule: Online live sessions on May 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 20th, and 22nd, 2025; from 16:00 to 20:30 (Madrid time zone).
Instructors: John E. Simmons (Museologica, USA) and Dr. Greg McDonald (Bureau of Land Management, USA).
Course Overview:
Using a combination of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and readings, this course will teach participants how to better care for and manage all natural history collections (including botany, geosciences, and zoology).
The importance of the collections storage environment is emphasized, as well as the identification and selection of inert materials, testing locally available materials, adapting collections care standards to particular environmental conditions, and good management through sound policies and collection planning.
Rather than the traditional discipline-based approach, the course teaches collections care based on collection material and preparation type―dry preparations, wet preparations, and documentation (including paper-based and electronic media).
The course will benefit individuals who already have experience in caring for natural history collections, as well as those who intend to work with natural history collections.
If you have any questions, please write to cou...@transmittingscience.com
Best regards,
Sole
