You want to a great argument for keeping specimens and artifacts in
properly curated collections, in facilities with appropriate
conditions to maintain the integrity of the items? The morons who
are illegally occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge are
rooting through the 4,000 artifacts held at the refuge. Held there
"for research." I'm not saying that the artifacts are not properly
curated. There is a refuge archeologist who works onsite. The
facilities, however, are very basic - as is the case at most
refuges. <br>
<br>
And it should be obvious at this point that there is no security at
the refuge. <br>
<br>
It is fascinating that the morons profess such concern for the
artifacts but run outside and bulldoze significant archeological
sites. I'd compare them to the Taliban destroying Buddhas, but the
morons aren't even bright enough to know what they are doing.<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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" 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.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
