The importance of the collections storage environment is emphasized, as well as the identification and selection of inert materials, testing locally available materials, adapting collections care standards to particular environmental conditions, and good management through sound policies and collection planning. Rather than the traditional discipline-based approach, the course teaches collections care based on collection material and preparation type―dry preparations, wet preparations, and documentation (including paper-based and electronic media).</span><br><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">The course will benefit individuals who already have experience in caring for natural history collections, as well as those who intend to work with natural history collections.</span><br><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">More information and registrations: </span><br><a href="https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/museums-and-collections/care-management-natural-history-collections/" target="_blank"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/museums-and-collections/care-management-natural-history-collections/</span></a><br><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Best regards,</span><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Juan Vicente Bertó Mengual</span><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Administration</span><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Transmitting Science</span><br><a href="http://www.transmittingscience.com" target="_blank"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">www.transmittingscience.com</span></a>
