going to basically dumpster everything following a very short amount of notice, is there any legal or environmental concerns with disposing of these specimens in the US? While it is a teaching collection, I believe but feel free to correct me, there must be
some sort of mandated disposal process especially for wet specimens. As a field everything is moving to safer and safer storage liquids but large amounts of almost anything could be deemed a danger. Could staff relate to the administration or get whatever
monitoring organisation (EPA?) to write a letter detailing the dangers and legalities of simply tossing the items? Are certain specimens covered under licences or legislation that has to be followed? Maybe this could get some more time to find a home for the
specimens?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>It strikes me that this is where wider sector advocacy comes in. Many collections have focussed on research and collections care rather than promoting the role of collections. In the UK when we see this sort of situation the community sends letters of support
for the collection, occasionally having a positive effect on the decision-makers (particularly when some press reporting occurs).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In this case I would suggest that SPNHC, GCG and NatSCA prepare an open letter of support for the collection, highlighting the issue of the timescales and logistics involved in a collections move, then seek signatories to lend weight to it. Since there has
been some reporting already it seems likely that such a letter will be picked up on by the press, which will serve the threefold purpose of offering support for this collection, getting some advocacy statements out there to help reinforce why collections are
a valuable resource more generally, and it will be a visible reminder to other academic administrators that threats to collections can lead to bad press and have a negative impact on institutional reputation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Would people on this list be willing to put their names to such a letter?<o:p></o:p></p>

between a rock and a hard place due to funding cuts and as we know, natural history collections are a prime target for such downsizing initiatives. The decision was made that much easier by the lack of a public or research “face” to the museum. How are they
supposed to advocate for the museum’s collections when their website doesn’t even mention collections or research at all!! There is no way of showing a need for the administration to take action to preserve the collections.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

visible and promote and advocate for it at every opportunity. Become part of the collections community. There is no substitute for self-promotion. Your website and social media should sing your praises and showcase how valuable your collections are but they
should also be accessible through web portals, aggregators etc. so that they can be effectively used by the research community. We do however need a fundamental shift in the way collections are perceived by the rest of our community - the researchers need
to advocate for the collections they use and provide products created back to the collections (publications, Genbank sequences etc.), the aggregators need to do more for the collections that are part of their networks (provide user stats, cleanup tools and
measures of collections worth) while publishers also need to work to make collection specimen citations more discoverable and NSF needs to provide more mechanisms for funding these collections that are a national and international treasure.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
