<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The facility might also house research space, data management, and collection curation spaces.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I would be very interested in any specs, recommendations for appropriate facilities, or referrals for any such recent projects from the experts out there.<o:p></o:p></p>
