SPNHC 2012: Save the Date

June 11-16, 2012

On behalf of the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History we would like to
invite you to the 27th annual meeting of the Society for the
Preservation of Natural History Collections, June 11-16, 2012 in New
Haven, Connecticut.  We are pleased to have the Consortia of Northeast
Herbaria and members of the Yale community join us next summer and we
hope you will be with us too.

The theme of SPNHC 2012 is Emerging Technology and Innovation in Natural
History Collections Management and will focus on the tools, innovative
methods and collaborations that will move the natural history
collections community forward. Our venue will be the Omni Hotel located
in downtown New Haven within steps of the city green and Yale's historic
old campus. General sessions will be held at this luxury hotel, while
social events will give a glimpse of the Peabody Museum and its
collections as well as other Yale collections and the campus. We are
planning an exciting program including field trips, workshops, technical
sessions, demonstrations and a vendor exhibition or tradeshow.

We are looking for diverse communities of natural history practioners.
In order to have a successful meeting, we need your participation and
ideas for the program including suggestions for technical sessions,
panel discussions, workshops and field trips. If you have any ideas for
the program within the theme of Emerging Technology and Innovation in
Natural History Collections Management, we ask that you please submit
them to our program committee chair, Patrick Sweeny via email at
SPNHC2012 at yale.edu <mailto:SPNHC2012 at yale.edu>
