<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Greetings, Dirk,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">There's no doubt that pulling the curtain back on the 'behind-the-scenes' collections space and activities can make really interesting news for non-professionals. I'm incredibly impressed with the American
Museum's online video series "</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.amnh.org_shelf-2Dlife&d=AwMFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=C6opnsvYYxKd7yZyqD95WYSairMcroCbz5xuYrFMQWg&s=r_qkUDWDWEGE_O2kdYwqMr0QikpzbEEcTGSIy183mDM&e=">Shelf Life</a></span><span style="color:windowtext">". In my view it's the absolute best effort so far to explain the collections mission in an accessible,
appealing way. You may not hear this often from someone at the Smithsonian but I say to our colleagues at 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.<o:p></o:p></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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In reading this very attractive document, I was struck by the ABSENCE of an argument for collections. Rather, the document advocates for museums and their role in raising public awareness. No question that
they are important for public awareness of Nature, extinction, environmental change, but I found no connection to collections. In fact, other than mentioning the total number of specimens in the region’s museums and two page that describe what the collections
contain and what goes on ‘behind the exhibits’ there’s no focus on the use of collections or their relevance to the public education mission.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This is not to say that we shouldn’t be advocating for museums as centers of education, advocacy and infotainment. That being said, based on the text alone (setting aside what we all know and believe), a general
reader might ask why good museum space is being used for collections rather than public exhibits, since the collections don’t seem important for exhibits and education. I can imagine that this is a question that many smaller regional and local museums must
answer. It would be very interesting to hear ideas from people in smaller museums on how they make this connection to the collections for the public and funders.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
