The Yale Collections Collaborative ( 
http://www.yale.edu/collections_collaborative/) will be sponsoring a 
forum on the Natural Collections Description Project on January 24th 
from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 in the Peabody Museum Auditorium, featuring 
presentations by Carol Butler (Smithsonian Institution), Neil Thomson 
(the Natural History Museum, London) and Roger Hyam (Royal Botanic 
Garden Edinburgh). Although the NCD Project is focused on natural 
history collections, the concepts and methodology of the project will 
be of interest to anyone who deals with metadata and the challenges 
of describing and relating diverse groups of materials.
