Subject: SPNHC
For those of us here on the DistList with particular interest in natural history collections, this notice is to remind you that the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) is inviting one and all to join in 2002. Some of you might be interested in the benefits of membership: Joining SPNHC this week will allow you to sign up for our annual meeting at a discounted member rate and also be able to take advantage of our early registration rate (ending March 1). This year's theme is Hazardous Collections and Mitigation. The May 8-13 conference is being held in Montreal and is being organized by the Redpath Museum/McGill University of Montreal and the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. The last day, May 13, features the Workshop: Chemical and Biological Emergency Preparedness and Response in Natural History Museums. Our annual meetings also feature Vendor Trade Shows attended by companies providing goods and services pertinent to our activities and responsibilities. You'll be able to see what's new and discuss these offerings with company representatives. Joining SPNHC and/or signing up for our annual meeting is easy.
