 Hello Everyone,
As the EcoTarium moves towards its 200 year anniversary we have been taking a very close look at our collections holdings and have been attempting to weed out those items which are less central to our mission so that we can better focus our limited resources.  Over the past year we have posted several deaccession lists and will continue to do so as we tackle different areas of our collections holdings.   
 I am attaching our most current list of deaccession items.  Please contact me by 7-16-2016 if you are interested in any of the materials, or need more information.  Materials will be transferred to other museums free of charge on a first come first serve basis, recipient museums must pay for shipping, no individuals or non-museums will be considered. If you know of another museum that is not on this listserve that might be interested please forward them this listing, due to limited resources we are requesting that all interested museums contact us directly.  We would love to find these pieces homes in other museums, thank you all for your help.
