<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues, <div><br><div>Over the years on this list I've occasionally seen notes from folks who have to deaccession specimens that are perfectly sound objects but are no longer applicable to their collections. Sometimes they are re-homed quickly but others seem to languish. Maybe we can help some of these latter cases... Thanks to some recent changes here, we are in the position to accept a diversity of natural history specimens. While we can't accept everything, our mission is broad and we might be able to accept things that are often difficult to place. We use mostly mounts and study skins; we use very few anthropogenic objects unless directly related to biology study. I'm not promising to accept everything but if you are looking for a home for surplus specimens, we might be a good one. Feel free to contact me off-list any time.</div><div><br></div><div>--Steve</div><div><br></div><div>Steven M.
