 in the region.  Direct requests for assistance are best made through our hotline:  202-661-8068.  If you wish to pass along information about institutions in the Carolinas that might need help recovering or stabilizing collections, please let us know at

 assessments after the 2017 hurricanes and wildfires, and these can be very helpful for affected institutions to prioritize next steps and to make a strong case for grant funding.  Inquiries should be directed to

<div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">

Hi Everyone,

<div><br>

</div>

<div> I’m not a subscriber to this list-serve, but a few folks who are forwarded the email James Erdmann posted a couple of days ago to me, so I wanted to take a minute to provide some additional context. For those of you who don’t know me, I am the

 faculty curator of the University of Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div> First, in case it isn’t explicitly clear, the University of Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates is not part of the Biodiversity Institute. As James said, we work closely with the BI for some of our outreach/education activities and we are very concerned

 about its closure, but there is no administrative overlap between us and the BI.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div> Second, if you have any questions, please direct them to me and not Beth Wommack. While Beth is certainly capable of answering questions, that’s not her job.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div> Third, feel free to look at the survey and even fill it out if you’d like, but I am not suggesting or advocating that you do.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div> Fourth, to those of you who received a similar email I sent to Avecol, I apologize for cluttering your inbox.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Thank you.</div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Dear Colleagues,

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Earlier this summer the University of Wyoming's administration made the decision to close the Biodiversity Institute, an organization that coordinates several citizen-science programs and other outreach, funds student research, and works closely

 with the University of Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates (UWYMV) on a number of these activities.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>If you have a moment, please read below and consider voicing your opinion on the decision. You don’t need to have interacted directly with the BI to show your support in the survey.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>It is currently uncertain how this closure will affect UWYMV, but it will be affected nonetheless, in part because the museum and the BI are housed in the same building. I believe UWYMV Curator and CM Beth Wommack will provide more details as

 they emerge.</div>

<div><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">I am working on an upcoming (1 Dec 2018 -1 Mar 2019) exhibition entitled

<i>Pressed for Time: Botanical Collecting as Genteel Pastime or Scientific Pursuit?</i> This exhibition will explore the relationship between amateur and professional botany collectors and discuss the rift that formed between them at the turn of the 19<sup>th</sup>

 century. I will be highlighting eight collectors and feature four each of their herbarium sheets. We are using mostly herbaria from our own collection but are also borrowing from other institutions. I am searching for sheets that represent a teacher and his/her

 student, preferably between the dates of 1870-1940 as this can represent the American Nature Study Movement.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">I am curious if anyone’s collection houses such sheets, fully recognizing that that specific attribution may be elusive in the records; yet

 hoping that staff familiarity with certain collectors may provide the relevant information.
