Planning for the 2007 Annual Meeting is progressing rapidly!

The Conference web site

last updated March 19, 2007.    A preliminary 
schedule for the Program information is included.

Registration:   Early Bird Registration is now 
over.  If you have not registered yet, we 
encourage you to do so soon.   See the conference 
web site for information.  There have been some updates!

Field Trips: Collections tours are approaching 
maximum numbers.  Sign up soon to guarantee your 
spot – or, register instead for a unique 
Minnesota experience: hiking through restoration 
prairie, enjoying unique geological forms 
formations in an urban setting, birding along the 
Mississippi River from St. Paul to Historic Red 
Wing (yes, where the boots come from) or relaxing 
canoe trip along the scenic St. Croix River.  May 
in Minnesota promises to be glorious!

Hotel:  Good news.  You can now book on line:  On

Abstracts:  We received 28 abstracts for oral 
presentations and posters.  The local team is 
reviewing them, and will get back to authors by April 5, 2007.
Committee Meetings:  The schedule for Committee 
Meetings (Monday, May 21) will be posted on the 
web site in April, via NHCOLL, and in an email to the membership.

Workshop:  The workshop is filling up fast!  The 
workshop will run for one and a half days.  It 
starts with a full day at the Minnesota 
Historical Society.  The second day will be held 
at the Science Museum of Minnesota. You will have 
the opportunity to compare solutions.  Benefit 
from our successes and see what each would have done differently.

send our thanks out to all of the vendors and 
sponsors for this year’s conference.

preferred size is not on the registration form,
