<p class="MsoNormal">I am sorry to report that long time SPNHC
member Barbara Brown has passed away. I copy below from a
message that was sent to the AMNH staff about her passing. We
will plan a longer tribute for the newsletter and for the
meeting in Edinburgh.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have some very sad news to share.
Barbara Brown, Curatorial Associate in the Department of
Ichthyology passed away. Barb began at the Museum over 35
years ago. In her long tenure as the curation management head
for the department, Barb oversaw extensive growth of the
collections, vastly increased usage, two major moves and
reorganizations, an NSF-supported collections improvement
grant, and one whole-scale renovation of the department
offices and facilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2011, Barb was a founding member of the
AMNH Collections Managers group who meet monthly to share
ideas and solutions regarding collections management issues.
The group was founded when recently appointed collection
managers approached Barb to ask for her advice and mentoring.
As a seasoned collection manager Barb offered support, a
sympathetic ear and good advice. She was a much loved member
of the group and she will be sorely missed.<br>
<span style="color:#5856D6"><br>
</span>Barb was also an active participant in the wider
collections community for many years and served as Treasurer
to the Society for the Preservation of Natural History
Collections from 2006 until 2012. She was responsible for the
financial and membership management of the Society and oversaw
the transition to an online membership database which had a
significant impact on the success of the Society.”<o:p></o:p></p>
