<br>Good afternoon,<div><br></div><div>I am the manager for the Acadia National Park museum program. We are working with a non-profit partner, the Schoodic Institute, a relatively new science research and education center on the coast of Maine. We are exploring ideas for creating a new facility that would hold natural history specimens, primarily invertebrates - both pinned and fluid-preserved, herbarium specimens, etc. collected from research and bio blitzes, and citizen science programs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The facility might also house research space, data management, and collection curation spaces.</div><div><br></div><div> I would be very interested in any specs, recommendations for appropriate facilities, or referrals for any such recent projects from the experts out there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Rebecca Cole-Will</div><div>Cultural Resources Program Manager</div><div>Acadia NP<span></span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
