Hello everyone,

I am looking for a supplier for jars and lids for fluid preserved
collections, perhaps closer to California where my collection resides. Any
recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Mare,
We?ve bought smaller vials with black phenolic cone liners from the Acme Vial & Glass Company<https://www.acmevial.com/index.asp> of Paso Robles, CA.
Easy to work with, and for us, it was the best price we could find on the size of vial we wanted, even counting local suppliers.
Everything else we get from o.berk /bottlestore<https://www.oberk.com/>.
Best wishes,
Nate

For less-than-critical storage (such as bulk samples) we have often used 
various sizes of Mason jars (both Kerr and Ball), and - for very 
long-term storage - culinary jars with gaskets and a latchable lid, 
rather than anything from specialty suppliers.

These aren't exactly manufactured for museum specimen storage, but we 
honestly have had very, very few problems with them, over a 25-year time 
span for many of them.

Note that for the kinds of specimens we store (arthropods), there's no 
evidence that any chemicals from the gaskets of either type of jar are 
problematic, so it really comes down to preventing alcohol from 
evaporating, and they seem to do this pretty well, aside from the 
smallest size of the Mason jars (4 oz.), with which we've had some 
problems. Not sure why it's only the smallest jars that are troublesome.

Are we deluding ourselves about the longevity of these jars?

Peace,

Hi all,

agree with Doug that jars culinary jars are widely used, and this is not only Le-Perfait jars. Snap-on lids may perform differently, a general problem with snap-on plastic lids (as with other plastic lids) is, that plastic is ageing and if they start to fail usually entire batches in the collections fail more or less simultaneously. All with famous Copenhagen jars know this all too well.

Recently had a very interesting exchange with a company producing metal twist-on lids. There are also a couple of changes after the ban of PVC as liner in metal lids (which is related with the banning of the plasticizer Bisphenol A from usage for food containers), about which we don't know too much at the moment.

The different categories of inner coatings, including specific coating to withstand acetic, strong acetic and salty fillings (Link<https://www.pano.de/files/public/downloads/en/Pano_Blueseal_Datenblatt_EN_5.0.pdf>; screenshot below); classes S4 & S5 have a three-layer coating and surely would be preferable for our purposes as well.

With best wishes
Dirk

Message-ID: <PH8PR09MB9136FE0318F7C80989609A1E83EAA@PH8PR09MB9136.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Hello all,

I have a question about the process of converting bird mounts into skins, or at least making them more compact to be properly stored in drawers with skins.

I have some mounted birds where they are the only specimen we have of that species, and I would like to store them with the skins. I know I have seen mounts ?converted? into skins, such that the feet and pushed down and (when necessary) the head is straightened out to be in line with the body. We have some in our collection that I can tell used to be mounts. Has anyone ever done this, or know how to go about doing this? These are birds with wires in the legs, etc. I?m not sure if they should just be moved or if it would be better to try and soften them somehow before. Or if this ?conversion? isn?t a recommended course of action at all.

Thank you for any help or advice in advance.

We also acknowledge that in the historic era other tribal communities and European settlers intersected with Serrano peoples in these spaces.  Our histories and stories are intertwined in this space, and by sharing them in culturally?appropriate ways and co-stewarding collections, we hope to honor and celebrate our indigenous neighbors and partners. We also seek to offer an accurate, clear and thorough picture of this region?s complicated past and create a shared vision for the future that is mutually?beneficial and respectful to all.

Dear All,
David Sibley famously did the opposite of this as he took a 100 year old
Ivory billed woodpecker studyskin and turned it into a mount, I would
contact him directly. Basically you have to reverse the process and soak
the skin, at our college we don't use chemicals, so in water and then un
stitch it, there will be a sewing job running up the breast bone and
remove the artificial guts and then once it is just a skin remake it into a
study skin. Jasper White, a former student of mine, produced a really
clever video which is probably on Youtube of him making a macaw into a
studyskins. After 40 years I am uncertain if study skins is one word or two.

Dear Mackenzie,

I suggest to reconsider the idea of altering a mount. I can understand 
that making a study-skin of it, has a positive effects for storage, but 
the mounts will suffer a great deal of damage. Its in a way like taking 
a old painting out of its frame and roiling it up to safe space.

If the other option would be to discard them, then you can try using 
chopped cherry laurel leaves, which soften the skin very nicely. But 
then you will have to take out the old mannequin from inside and re-wire 
everything to an adequate study-skin mount. This is a procedure that 
requires a lot of practice, knowledge of bird taxidermy, time and 
patience. And don't forget about good PPE, since old bird mounts usually 
have a lot of banned preservation chemicals.

There is a fantastic older paper on the subject of cherry laurel in German:

Wechsler K., J. Fiebig, A. Henche, U. Plackinger, M. Rauer-Go?mann, and 
H. Scheidt. 2001. U?ber das Weichen trockengefallener Alkohol- und 
Formalinpra?parate, Herbarbla?tter und von Tapagewebe. Der Pra?parator

Hi Mackenzie

I?d also recommend caution in decisions to demount specimens. There is a loss of information during this process ? information that can be gained from the style and detail in the prep materials and techniques used. This information can sometimes be used to help reconnect a specimen with its history or be used for other purposes. There is also information in the base the specimen may stand on, even where there is nothing written on it. Some museums routinely demounted birds to save space only to regret it later.

Hi,

I was wondering whether there is anyone out there with experience of transporting wet collections or who can point me to some information/resource? I'm interested in transport of wet collections (primarily in ethanol) for digitisation at an offsite facility (this is within Europe). Hence, my query concerns large numbers of specimens and multiple trips. I'm aware of some of the issues with this (such as specialist transports and licences for dangerous goods) and understand that the best method would be not to move them offsite. Nonetheless, I would be interested in hearing about experiences anyway - particularly if you have found a workable solution to the logistics of transporting glass jars such as these in bulk.

One method which has been mentioned and tried here in Denmark is the use of vermiculite to pack between jars. However, this produced a lot of dust and mess and was not looked upon favourably!

Many best wishes,

Pip

Dear Pip,

there was a very similar topic that got a lot of feedback in June called 
"Best packing material for moving of wet collection jars", maybe it 
would be worth to have a look at that.

My personal advice, apart of good cushioning (the list of possible 
materials was discussed in the thread mentioned above) of each jar, is 
to do small transportation batches. So the overview of possible damage 
on the road is easier. Besides this, usually it makes the safety 
measures easier, since the legal issues start with certain amount liters 
of dangerous goods. So if you keep bellow the limit (check your local 
guidelines), you can use non-dangerous goods transportation or even 
normal cars.


All the best,

A common solution here, which we have used, is to pack the jars into large plastic drums with full-diameter clamp-on lids. These are themselves rated for fluid transport, so you don't need to add any sorbents. You can use regular packing peanuts or rolled-up towels to keep the jars separated and use cardboard to separate the layers.
Commercial movers have special carts, dollies and lifts for these drums, so they don't need to do anything unusual either. It's safe and easy.

Whatever method you choose, don't use vermiculite - apart from the mess, most of it is contaminated with naturally co-occurring asbestos. If your regulations permit it, coarse sawdust or chopped straw are good, environmentally favorable alternatives.

Dear Pip,

there was a very similar topic that got a lot of feedback in June called "Best packing material for moving of wet collection jars", maybe it would be worth to have a look at that.

My personal advice, apart of good cushioning (the list of possible materials was discussed in the thread mentioned above) of each jar, is to do small transportation batches. So the overview of possible damage on the road is easier. Besides this, usually it makes the safety measures easier, since the legal issues start with certain amount liters of dangerous goods. So if you keep bellow the limit (check your local guidelines), you can use non-dangerous goods transportation or even normal cars.


All the best,

One method which has been mentioned and tried here in Denmark is the use of vermiculite to pack between jars. However, this produced a lot of dust and mess and was not looked upon favourably!

Dear all,

The University Museum of Bergen in Norway is planning a new exhibition related to its role as a national center of osteological collections and research. The new exhibit Bare Bones shall use specimens from the unique Bergen osteological collections to highlight the fascinating anatomy, development and evolution of bone, the dazzling diversity in shape and size of skeletons, and how researchers are using new and old methods to read the information captured in our bones.

For this purpose we are looking for expertise in the mounting of large animal skeletons. We request tenders for the construction of metal armature and the articulation of
1) Asian elephant
2) giraffe and
3) horse

We prefer one company mounting all three skeletons, but welcome offers for mounting 1 or more of the skeletons and reserve the right to split the tender between multiple contractors. We reserve the right to omit a skeleton if time/ cost do not allow for the completion of all three within the budget. Please note that the supplier must have experience with similar contract performance/deliveries (supplier itself or experience acquired by the supplier's personnel when working for another company).

We hope this might be of interest. More information may be found through this link or by contacting us:
https://tendsign.no/doc.aspx?ID=206790&B=n2Wgswhy/8cA
Tender due date is 21st September.

Kind regards,
Kitty Amlie Tverra

In the USA, that's covered by DOT hazmat rules for road transport and probably also by state and local rules for storage and intrastate transport. All of that should be on the web for where you are, and any competent commercial shipper will know it and have certified drivers where necessary.

These are themselves rated for fluid transport, so you don't need to add any sorbents. You can use regular packing peanuts or rolled-up towels to keep the jars separated and use cardboard to separate the layers.
Commercial movers have special carts, dollies and lifts for these drums, so they don't need to do anything unusual either. It's safe and easy.

Whatever method you choose, don't use vermiculite - apart from the mess, most of it is contaminated with naturally co-occurring asbestos. If your regulations permit it, coarse sawdust or chopped straw are good, environmentally favorable alternatives.

External.

Dear Pip,

there was a very similar topic that got a lot of feedback in June called "Best packing material for moving of wet collection jars", maybe it would be worth to have a look at that.

My personal advice, apart of good cushioning (the list of possible materials was discussed in the thread mentioned above) of each jar, is to do small transportation batches. So the overview of possible damage on the road is easier. Besides this, usually it makes the safety measures easier, since the legal issues start with certain amount liters of dangerous goods. So if you keep bellow the limit (check your local guidelines), you can use non-dangerous goods transportation or even normal cars.


All the best,

Hi,



I was wondering whether there is anyone out there with experience of transporting wet collections or who can point me to some information/resource? I?m interested in transport of wet collections (primarily in ethanol) for digitisation at an offsite facility (this is within Europe). Hence, my query concerns large numbers of specimens and multiple trips. I?m aware of some of the issues with this (such as specialist transports and licences for dangerous goods) and understand that the best method would be not to move them offsite. Nonetheless, I would be interested in hearing about experiences anyway ? particularly if you have found a workable solution to the logistics of transporting glass jars such as these in bulk.



One method which has been mentioned and tried here in Denmark is the use of vermiculite to pack between jars. However, this produced a lot of dust and mess and was not looked upon favourably!



Many best wishes,



Pip

The Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN), in collaboration with the
American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) and with support from the
National Science Foundation (Award No. 2303588
<https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2303588&HistoricalAwards=false>),
is organizing a community discussion series <https://bcon.aibs.org/biofair/>,
entitled ?Building an Integrated, Open, Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, and Reusable (BIOFAIR) Data Network.? Critical to this
effort is engaging the next generation of biodiversity professionals. To
that end, we invite you to consider or share this open call to recruit
emerging and early career professionals to join the leadership team in
facilitating these discussions.

BCoN is recruiting three (3) emerging professionals (EP; current Master?s
and PhD students) and three (3) early career professionals (ECP; within 2
years of completing a Master?s or PhD) to join the core Steering Committee
to catalyze cross-domain discussions, identify a set of shared biodiversity
data needs and goals, and define the next steps, shared milestones, and a
collaborative plan that will inform cross-domain integration of digital
data and scientific research. All members of the Steering Committee will
facilitate and participate in a series of online discussions to engage an
expansive set of stakeholders with the goal of building novel, timely
collaborations to synergize the development of an integrated, open, FAIR
biological and environmental data network.

During the course of the two-year project, EP and ECP Steering Committee
Members will gain mentored experience planning and executing
interdisciplinary meetings, facilitating productive discussions,
summarizing meeting outcomes, generating professional reports, and writing
collaborative synthesis manuscripts. This is an opportunity for EP and ECP
Steering Committee Members to receive timely training in team science and
inclusivity; to serve as active participants in a collaborative network of
scientists with diverse experiences and expertise; work directly with
leaders from across the biodiversity sciences; and engage with diverse
stakeholders to establish common ground and align approaches towards a
common goal. Experience and training in such skills are increasingly
valuable in an interdisciplinary and team science environment.

A modest $1,500 honorarium will be provided for the two-year commitment. We
recognize that while the EP and ECP members will bring unique perspectives
and contributions to the project, they may also be navigating new
professional spaces. The modest honorarium is provided in recognition that
emerging professionals might not otherwise have the resources or time to be
engaged in such an effort.

Application deadline is September 15, 2023. Learn more
<https://bcon.aibs.org/2023/08/15/biofair-emerging-early-career-professionals/>
about
this opportunity, including eligibility requirements, responsibilities, and
how to apply.

Applicants from historically excluded communities and people of all racial,
ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations,
gender identities and to persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged
to apply.

Good Afternoon!

We're putting together a temporary exhibit, < 3 months, and the idea to include a Meerkat has come up. Does any museum in the U.S. have a full mount in decent condition that they'd be willing to loan? The few we've found so far have been on permanent exhibit in their parent institutions. Please let me know off list if so!

Hello NHM Colleagues,


We are incredibly excited for our upcoming annual event! BlackInNHMs week starts Sun Oct 15 through Sat 21 Oct. BlackInNHMs week is a series of synchronous and asynchronous activities and content shared through social media (twitter, instagram, facebook, LinkedIn) and our website. See the schedule and register<https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week> using this link (https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week).


Our week is one aspect of our goal of celebrating and building community for Black folx working in NHMs; encouraging and facilitating Black people?s participation in NHMs professionally and as patrons; and engaging non-Black people as true colleagues and co-conspirators to BIackInNHM professionals.


We want to work with you!


As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we are a grassroots organization of dedicated professionals (curators, professors, collections managers, graduate students and communication specialists) building the infrastructure from the ground up to engage and create a community for Black folks who are in, were in, or interested in being in NHMs. We are asking that natural history museums and collections actively support this initiative by participating in and advertising the events and following us on social media to like and repost our curated content to ensure it reaches a broad and diverse audience. Even taking just a few minutes to forward this email or our website to the right person could have a lasting impact.

     We would also love to form long-term collaborations with museums and collections who are serious about their stated commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion to bring our initiatives into physical spaces to increase their impact. Try as we might, we cannot make natural history museums (with all of their historical and contemporary issues related to race and colonialism) welcoming places for Black, Indigenous and other people of color without the earnest engagement of the institutions themselves. We hope you hear us.


Please join us during our annual event to learn more about what we can accomplish together, <https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week> register here<https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week> (https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week).

This is the company I believe we have been using since the 90s. Our zoology neighbors next door use them too.

I called them once about labels for microscope slides and they were very helpful.

There is a timeframe the adhesive works best, so making sure you are using them at a good pace before ordering more wors better than having a stockpile that sits for years.

Good luck
Genevieve

Hi Gali,

We had some made to use on top of the lids of our Marine Invertebrate wet collection (with a duplicate barcode number on polytag inside the jar) and in slide size for some of the slide collections, and so far we are happy with them. They are a bit pricey, however, making these was a relatively failed venture.

Just in case my message wasn't clear, making sticky back barcode labels myself was a failed venture. These pre-made ones from this company so far have been great.

Hi everyone
I'm trying to locate the world's first aurochs skeleton to be mounted for display. In our collection, we have a sub-fossil aurochs (Bos primigenius) skeleton that was mounted in 1873-1874, and the annual report for that year claims it was the first of the species to be articulated in the UK. So, I'm wondering whether anyone knows of examples in other countries that were mounted before that?
Any pointers would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks
Jack

Message-ID: <CAAdpv4i8h-vBfnc9ikXB15VVXn5xn67xrbq8fn3BEB9BCDo7Uw@mail.gmail.com>

The Ornithological Council is hearing about significant delays in getting
COSEs renewed. I've been in touch with the USFWS and am working to put
together a list of pending COSE renewals, so they can check on the status.
To be added to my list, please contact me (laurabiesoc at gmail.com) with the
institution name and location, permit reference number, contact info (email
and phone), and date renewal submitted. It's important that I provide the
USFWS with contacts for each institution; due to privacy issues, they have
to reply directly to the institutions and not to me.

Please share with other institutions who may not be in this group. The more
evidence we can pull together about delays in processing, the better. On
that note, if your COSE was recently renewed, but took a long time, I'd be
interested in that, too.

Thanks!

HI Laura

Typically USFWS permits can be used past the expiration date if the application has been submitted 30 days prior to expiration. Do you know if this rule also applies to COSE?

Greetings Everyone,

RE: Speaker Lineup at TaxonWorks Together (TWT) 2023 - Oct 24-26
https://together.taxonworks.org/

We're excited to share our agenda and speaker lineup with you. If you 
work with biodiverse data, e.g. as collection manager, developer, 
curator, or researcher, you'll find intriguing topics such as:

- The evolving landscape of biodiversity informatics: bringing 
actionable practices and tools to you
- Perspectives on taxon pages from the Atlas of Living Australia, the 
Encyclopedia of Life, and from the Species File Group
- The future of species description: technology, inventories, 
large-scale integrative taxonomy
- Extended specimen ideas, GeoPick, GeoLocate, BELS, implementing RCC-5 
for connecting taxon concepts (What's RCC-5? Join us to find out more), 
research workflows

Registration for TaxonWorks Together 2023 is open, and free.
Some activities will be highly guided, some information style, and some 
unconference style.

Zoom space may be limited, please don't wait! Questions welcome.

To Register https://together.taxonworks.org/

In anticipation, Debbie, for the Species File Group
(apologies in advance for cross-posting)

There's a session from NHM on documentation that I'm very interested in hearing. ?

The Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN), in collaboration with the
American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) and with support from the
National Science Foundation (Award No. 2303588
<https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2303588&HistoricalAwards=false>),
is organizing a community discussion series <https://bcon.aibs.org/biofair/>,
entitled ?Building an Integrated, Open, Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, and Reusable (BIOFAIR) Data Network.? Critical to this
effort is engaging the next generation of biodiversity professionals. To
that end, we invite you to consider or share this open call to recruit
emerging and early career professionals to join the leadership team in
facilitating these discussions.

BCoN is recruiting three (3) emerging professionals (EP; current Master?s
and PhD students) and three (3) early career professionals (ECP; within 2
years of completing a Master?s or PhD) to join the core Steering Committee
to catalyze cross-domain discussions, identify a set of shared biodiversity
data needs and goals, and define the next steps, shared milestones, and a
collaborative plan that will inform cross-domain integration of digital
data and scientific research. All members of the Steering Committee will
facilitate and participate in a series of online discussions to engage an
expansive set of stakeholders with the goal of building novel, timely
collaborations to synergize the development of an integrated, open, FAIR
biological and environmental data network.

During the course of the two-year project, EP and ECP Steering Committee
Members will gain mentored experience planning and executing
interdisciplinary meetings, facilitating productive discussions,
summarizing meeting outcomes, generating professional reports, and writing
collaborative synthesis manuscripts. This is an opportunity for EP and ECP
Steering Committee Members to receive timely training in team science and
inclusivity; to serve as active participants in a collaborative network of
scientists with diverse experiences and expertise; work directly with
leaders from across the biodiversity sciences; and engage with diverse
stakeholders to establish common ground and align approaches towards a
common goal. Experience and training in such skills are increasingly
valuable in an interdisciplinary and team science environment.

A modest $1,500 honorarium will be provided for the two-year commitment. We
recognize that while the EP and ECP members will bring unique perspectives
and contributions to the project, they may also be navigating new
professional spaces. The modest honorarium is provided in recognition that
emerging professionals might not otherwise have the resources or time to be
engaged in such an effort.

Application deadline has been extended to September 30, 2023. Learn more
<https://bcon.aibs.org/2023/08/15/biofair-emerging-early-career-professionals/>
about
this opportunity, including eligibility requirements, responsibilities, and
how to apply.

Applicants from historically excluded communities and people of all racial,
ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations,
gender identities and to persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged
to apply.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Cotton in wet mollusk collections
Message-ID: <CAFU0eh-RcDwPivaa6wnchW220tv_W_uV=sscYsdGq7g9Rm=Hsw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I wanted to ask you about the effects of cotton in wet mollusk collections.
I know cotton is not safe for specimens in fish collections because it
tends to absorb lipids. Have anyone heard if this happens to Mollusca
collections as well? I have looked at some resources but haven't had any
luck. I know polyester fiber is good, and I also heard recently about
butter muslin.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks,

Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 1 online course begins October 2 on MuseumStudy.com Assessing risks to cultural property, including but not limited to Museum, Library, and Archive collections, is becoming a fundamental ability for collection care professionals and administrators to make informed decisions about not only where the risks to collections are, but also where resources will have the greatest effect in addressing those risks. Join instructor Robert Waller for the first in a series of online courses on Risk to Cultural Property. This introductory course provides a firm foundation on which to build an understanding of risk-based approaches to cultural property protection.

For more information visit our website:

https://www.museumstudy.com/assessing-risk-to-cultural-property-1



There are still spots available for Rob Waller's free webinar Risk-based approaches to preventive conservation: Which to choose for my situation?

Tuesday September 12 at 10 pm Continental Europe, 9 pm U.K., 4 pm Eastern, 3 pm Central, 2 pm Mountain, 1 pm Pacific, Noon Alaska, 10 am Hawaii, Wednesday 8 am New Zealand, Wednesday 6 am Australian Eastern Risk assessment and management approaches to preventive conservation were first suggested almost 35 years ago. Since then, numerous approaches have been developed, applied, and published. Three of the better known approaches include Quiskscan, ABC, and the Cultural Property Risk Analysis Model (CPRAM). People unfamiliar with these may think that they are interchangeable, and each could have value in any given context. That is not true. Each of these approaches was developed within a specific context and for certain purposes.

This presentation briefly describes each of these three approaches, and their strengths and limitations. Armed with this understanding, institutions and collection care professionals can decide which

approach(es) they believe will be most beneficial for their situation.

Make sure you choose an approach that will be fit for your purpose.

Message-ID: <3D92EF23-DF3A-4FB0-BA1E-A8F49F508F52@uconn.edu>

Hi NHCOLL-eagues!

I am working on a project to update the labels, condition reports, and digital data associated with specimens from three collections of large mammal taxidermy we have at the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History (CSMNH) at the University of Connecticut. We have ~130 mounts of (mostly) African and North American ungulates and carnivores and they will all need new labels. We have full body mounts (on bases), head mounts, and shoulder mounts in these collections. For those of you who take care of big mammal taxidermy, what kind(s) of labels do you use for these different types of mounts? How do you attach them to the animals/bases? What has worked for you (also, what hasn?t worked)? What are your ideal methods and supplies? I welcome any information you would like to send (including details on where you purchase your labeling materials). I will compile all the information I receive and send it out to the listerv for future reference?thank you all in advance for your help!

Onwards to glory,
Erin Kuprewicz

I hope you and your loved ones are managing to stay safe from the storms and flooding as well as severe weather continuing to threaten states across the nation. HENTF is supporting response and recovery efforts of the arts & culture sector - and the public impacted by Tropical Storm Ophelia. Please reach out to your members and constituents in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey to help gather reports of damage, identify any unmet needs, and share the following resources:



*         Cultural institutions and arts organizations affected by the flooding can call the National Heritage Responders hotline: 202.661.8068. The National Heritage Responders, a team of trained conservators and collections care professionals administered by the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation, are available 24/7 to provide advice and guidance.

     *   If you, a constituent, or a stakeholder suffered facilities and/or collections damage as a result of this event, consider filling out one of three rapid damage assessment forms for:

        *   Cultural institutions<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX2xFpCGc5gTq7UKQSO7xNQqpdL2kQMrFYNwx1RDxT-qsO8g/viewform>,
        *   Arts organizations<https://forms.gle/fNAcHzBoUNWiWXY36>, or
        *   Individual artists and performing groups<https://forms.gle/QL5gAYNUeG6fYRWn7>.

The information gathered will help HENTF identify where assistance is sought, direct assistance where needed, understand critical needs, and inform how recovery efforts move forward. HENTF wishes to thank the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) for hosting the survey for cultural institutions and the National Coalition for Arts' Preparedness (NCAPER) for hosting the surveys for arts organizations and individual arts & performing groups.


*         Members of the public who have questions about saving family heirlooms can email the National Heritage Responders at NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org<mailto:NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org>

*         HENTF's Save Your Family Treasures guidance is available at Save Your Family Treasures | FEMA.gov<https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/save-family-treasures>. Here you can find the downloadable FEMA fact sheets "After the Flood: Advice for Salvaging Damaged Family Treasures" and "Salvaging Water-Damaged Family Valuables and Heirlooms," available in multiple languages.



I will stay in touch as disaster assistance evolves.



Thank you and please stay safe,
Nana

Dear All,

Has anyone had experience with printers made by Zebra company - more
particularly, the ZD421 printer along with white bi-oriented cavitated
polypropylene sticker labels for use in *dry* (in our case - herbarium)
collections? We're considering the option of using barcodes with these. The
printing method is wax-resin thermal transfer, advertised as suitable for
environmental conditions ranging at 0-30C and 45-85% (this latter point
worries me).

Best wishes,

Gali

Hi Gali

I do not have experience with Zebra printers but have heard good things about the CAB SQUIB printers - see attached.  We are still using an older generation Datamax here at KU that is still going strong and these are apparently the successors to those.  All of these printers will accept the 700 foot rolls of spun bound polyester in continuous or tear off labels.

The Florida Museum Herpetology and Ichthyology collections purchased, and are using, the Zebra ZT411 to good effect for thermal transfer, fluid preservative specimen labels.

There does not seem to be much visible difference in label resolution between the 300dpi and 600dpi options except that the 600dpi, for reasons I do not know, does not come equipped with a cutter and perhaps, cannot come so equipped.

Fishes bought the 600 dpi - I wish we had the cutter.

Lastly, setup, done by our office of museum technology, was apparently easier than configuring a datamax (which as many know, involves a lot of appeals to a higher power).

Tweaking the settings seems to be likewise. (Like adjusting the print spacing so one can use scissor in place of a cutter. Womp womp).

To the extent this does or does not speak to the quality of Zebra printers in general, and the model you are considering, there you have it.

(And Zebra printers are of course used widely in commerce/shipping applications).

Best wishes,

Rob

Hello all,

Is anyone aware of entomological collections that are using a system called Artec 3D Micro to 3D scan insects : https://www.artec3d.com/portable-3d-scanners/artec-micro
Here's a model on Sketchfab : https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/beetle-8f9b0766dd03460fb83470106b3fdf53
I would be interested to talk to anyone who has had experience with this machine for insects.

Many thanks, Nicole

Happy Friday friends,
The looming government shutdown has perhaps made it more challenging for me to connect with some of my federal contacts so I'm throwing this question into the NHCOLL ether...

Do any of you have repository agreements with either Bureau of Reclamation and/or Fish and Wildlife for fossils and if so, would you be willing to talk with me about them? I have questions!

Thanks in advance and many fingers crossed for all of our federal colleagues!

 Collections
Message-ID: <FE3E2B4A-49EA-4228-887B-3056DBE3F459@fsu.edu>

The WeDigBio Board <https://wedigbio.org/team-members> is pleased to announce a 1-hour symposium entitled ?Energizing Understanding of Biodiversity Close-at-Hand with Hyperlocal Collections? on October 13 from 2?3 PM ET (=New York City time).  Hear from diverse perspectives on the roles of hyperlocal natural history collections in advancing biodiversity understanding and conservation, and join in the conversation.

2:00?2:05 Welcome! by Austin Mast (Florida State University)
2:05?2:20 Curating a truly reciprocal resource: the Polly Hill Arboretum Herbarium leverages its focus on local flora to foster mutual community support by Elizabeth Thomas (University of Georgia). 
2:20?2:35 Building from your own backyard: Collections creation in high school as a foundation for research and museum science skills by Matthew Croxton (Lakeland Christian School?s RISE Institute).  
2:35?2:50 Opportunities for hyperlocal collections in libraries?energizing local enthusiasm for biodiversity using citizen science library kits by Amy Osborne (Suwannee River Regional Library) and Austin Mast (FSU). 
2:50?3:00 Panel Discussion

Additional Info
Hyperlocal collections invite individuals, families, communities, and organizations to a greater understanding of, and personal responsibility for, their local biotas. These collections document such things as a school or library campus, a park, a rural county, and similar. Fostering and deepening relationships between hyperlocal collections and biodiversity research professionals represents a critical opportunity for science and conservation. These collections represent potential pockets of very high quality biodiversity data, given the intense focus on one location, as well as mechanisms to change the ethical calculations that individuals and communities apply to biodiversity (what has been described as ?biodiversity mainstreaming?). Join us to hear about examples of hyperlocal collections in several contexts (including a small arboretum on Martha?s Vineyard, a high school, and a rural library) and to contribute to the conversation about the future of these important resources.

Message-ID: <BN8PR15MB3203FEDCC32B7D7C11EDA35ADAC0A@BN8PR15MB3203.namprd15.prod.outlook.com>

Hello NHM Colleagues,


We are incredibly excited for our upcoming annual event! BlackInNHMs week starts Sun Oct 15 through Sat 21 Oct. BlackInNHMs week is a series of synchronous and asynchronous activities and content shared through social media (twitter, instagram, facebook, LinkedIn) and our website. See the schedule and register<https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week> using this link (https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week).


Our week is one aspect of our goal of celebrating and building community for Black folx working in NHMs; encouraging and facilitating Black people?s participation in NHMs professionally and as patrons; and engaging non-Black people as true colleagues and co-conspirators to BIackInNHM professionals.


We want to work with you!


As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we are a grassroots organization of dedicated professionals (curators, professors, collections managers, graduate students and communication specialists) building the infrastructure from the ground up to engage and create a community for Black folks who are in, were in, or interested in being in NHMs. We are asking that natural history museums and collections actively support this initiative by participating in and advertising the events and following us on social media to like and repost our curated content to ensure it reaches a broad and diverse audience. Even taking just a few minutes to forward this email or our website to the right person could have a lasting impact.

     We would also love to form long-term collaborations with museums and collections who are serious about their stated commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion to bring our initiatives into physical spaces to increase their impact. Try as we might, we cannot make natural history museums (with all of their historical and contemporary issues related to race and colonialism) welcoming places for Black, Indigenous and other people of color without the earnest engagement of the institutions themselves. We hope you hear us.


Please join us during our annual event to learn more about what we can accomplish together, <https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week> register here<https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week> (https://www.blackinnhms.org/2023-binhms-week).
