[NHCOLL-L:313] Museum move

[amsnyder at unm.edu]

The Museum of Southwestern Biology at the University of New Mexico in
Albuquerque, will be moving to a new museum facility in the Summer of
2000.  All divisions (UNM Herbarium, Arthropods, Biological Materials,
USGS Collections, Mammals, Birds, Amphibians and Reptiles and Fishes) will
not be able to fill loan requests nor receive visitors to the
collections, starting on 12 December 1999.

This 9 month cessation of normal operations will allow museum staff time
to concentrate on the variety of tasks involved in relocating these
collections. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause and
appreciate the patience of the research community.  Normal museum
activities should resume by September 2000.  Until further notice, our
mailing address and divisional phone number will remain the same.

Timothy K. Lowrey, Ph.D.
Director of Museum of Southwestern Biology
Curator of UNM Herbarium
