<p>The University of Arizona Public Media group and College of Agriculture & Life Sciences put together this short video on the importance of museum collections in relation to the Cooperative Extension service provided by the UA. I think this helps the public
better understand collection uses beyond just evolutionary biology. As part of my job overseeing the UA insect collection and insect identification clinic, I dealt with 600 inquiries in 2015 that were Extension-related.

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi David,<br>
<br>
didn't want to be all too negative in my post: yes, there are definitely good examples how (individual) museums do outreach and find good coverage in the media. A similar example is "Tristan", a near to fully complete T-rex skeleton that went just recently
on display at the Berlin Nat. His. Museum. This was echoed in the media in France and even in New Zeeland.<br>

<br>
The most important point is in your first bullet: collections are underutilized and their potential is not recognized. Parallel, they are part of our cultural heritage (without attracting the same attention among politicians, which do have a strong preference
for "real" culture, e.g. fine arts). This is a general concern.<br>
<br>
The importance of "collections" is often mentioned indirectly, e.g. in the Global Biodiversity Outlook 4 of the SCBD; that the barcodes have to rely on reference libraries which house and maintain respective specimens is mentioned nowhere.<br>
<br>
It might be worth to strengthen our visibility on a more global level, but even the Global Taxonomy Initiative hardly finds recognition on the political level. Even though we have been digitising millions of nice, fancy & colourful specimens for years now,
we are hardly seen ....<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
Dirk<br>

AMNH 'Bravo, well done, thanks!" If each of our outreach efforts did no more than point to Shelf Life and say "We do stuff like that!" or "We wouldn't know a lot of the things in these exhibits without the research done with the collections you haven't seen."
I think these approaches would be more effective than saying "Collections are the core business of museums, so if you like museums you need to support collections. Anyone using this latter approach could get stuck explaining why cost-effective, larger consolidated
collections are a mistake.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi David,<br>
hi Andy,<br>
<br>
this is not only a problem for smaller collections / museums, we see that budgets lines also for major collections are eroding and that there are calls to set "priorities". This is suited to start a negative cascade which leaves collections behind (with either
"citizens science", "public exhibition / museum" or "research" fighting to raise the necessary attention to avoid cuts in their sector).<br>
<br>
Instead of corporate approaches which integrate all parts of Natural History Research Museums, the different sectors start to cannibalise themselves in their struggle to survive. Vice versa, in some countries collections are "integrated" and fused to form larger
units, which does not result in duplication of staff, of course.<br>
<br>
The key question is to sell interesting pictures and news to media and local politicians so that we with our core business (=collections) remain present (and attractive) to a broad audience.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
Dirk<br>

<b>Subject: </b>making the case for natural history collections and their wider benefit to society and the environment</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Hello- one of the things we have worked on in the North West is making a credible case for the value of natural history collections, in terms of the benefits they bring to people, society and the wider environment. This
work was developed into an advocacy document which we have had it developed into a PDF, reformatted for printing/viewing on screen.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The arguments are tailored towards those working with policy and strategy (NGOs, societies, schools, PHE, HE and FE etc etc) rather than primarily for public consumption, hence the emphasis on ‘need’ messages rather than
‘love’/’feel’ messages. Although some of the content is specific to the North West, much of it is not; the PDF includes additional statistics not included in the hard copy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">You’re welcome to make use of this and to distribute it further, and please do send it round your networks. The work was developed with funding from Museum Development North West as part of a package of activities to
support NW museums, collections and museum staff.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">If you want to discuss this further, or if this sparks off ideas for possible collaboration, then feel free to get in touch. Any feedback is welcome.</span></p>
