The local organizing committee, a partnership between the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Botanic Gardens, is honored to host the 32nd annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections, June 18-24, 2017, in Denver Colorado.

Themed sessions will include:

•        Disaster Preparedness

•        Impacts of Changing Regulations

•         Moving Collections

•         New Solutions to Old Problems

·         Public Access to Collections
