[Nhcoll-l] SPNHC Travel Grants from NHCCN

[Kari Harris]

Please send out the following announcement:


The Natural History Collections Club Network (NHCCN) has received funding
from NSF to bring 14 individuals from 7 universities to SPNHC 2017 to
attend the NHCCN workshop on Sunday, June 18 and attend the rest of the
SPNHC annual meeting from Sunday, June 18-Friday, June 23. We are seeking
student and faculty pairs from universities who may be interested in
starting a Natural History Collections Club at their university. Please see
the below announcement for more information:

The Natural History Collections Club Network (NHCCN) will be hosting a ½
day workshop at the annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of
Natural History Collections (SPNHC) in Denver, CO on Sunday, June 18th. The
purpose of the workshop is to raise awareness of Natural History
Collections Clubs and to recruit new clubs into the network. Content of the
workshop will include guidelines and strategies for starting a new club and
methods for becoming a part of NHCCN. We have funding to support two
individuals each from seven institutions to attend the workshop and the
SPNHC conference. This includes funding for your registration, room, and
travel to SPNHC from June 17-June 23, 2017. The NHCCN is made of several
clubs that are curator-advised, student-driven organizations aimed at
enhancing local natural history collections by helping to train student
volunteers to assist in curating and managing them. The network represents
clubs from all types of universities but seems to most benefit those with
small collections as a way to protect and raise enthusiasm for their
collections. We are particularly interested in institutions with small
collections and/or minority serving institutions but anyone is welcome to
apply.


*Application Deadline is Friday, June 2*
