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. In this workshop you will meet students
and advisors from existing NHCC’s and learn about how to start your own
club and how NHCC’s have impacted campus collections. Starting an NHCC on
your campus creates a group of students ready to advocate for your
collections at a local level. We have seen great responses to these clubs
from local communities and university administrations. This workshop
targets potential advisors/curators and students who may be club leaders.


*You can sign up for the NHCCN workshop with your SPNHC registration. Or,
if you have already registered and decide you would like to sign up you can
