3rd Announcement
SPNHC 2004: Strategies for Emergency Response & Salvage
19th annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History 
Collections

This spring the American Museum of Natural History will host the 19th 
annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History 
Collections May 11-16, 2004. The theme of the meeting is Museum SOS: 
Strategies for Emergency Response & Salvage and as part of this year's 
activity we will be devoting one day of the conference's technical sessions 
to talks focusing on issues relating to emergency preparedness and 
response.  The International Society for Biological and Environmental 
Repositories (ISBER) will join SPNHC and organize a specialty session 
covering issues related to biomaterials and setting up tissue repositories. 
A one-day workshop that deals with practical issues encountered in 
responding to the first 24 hours after a disaster, the most critical time 
period, will follow the meeting. In addition the we will hold a banquet 
aboard the World Yacht's MV Empress, so come along and enjoy the views of 
the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty.
