[Nhcoll-l] Topical session at Annual GSA

[Tacker, Christopher]

Hello, SPNCH members,

The Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America is in Indianapolis, IN this year, 4-7 November.

I would like to draw your attention to a special topical session:
T86. Making the Case for Collections: How Institutions Are Using Real Objects to Engage the Public, Solve Problems, and Save the World

Convened by Peggy Fisherkeller, Dallas Evans
GSA Geoscience Education Division
As humans produce more of everything, competition for physical space becomes ever more intense. This session will highlight how institutions and individuals are ensuring that resource-consuming natural history collections continue to be viewed as relevant.

Abstracts are due on 14 August. More information, and abstract submission information may be found by following this link:

Chris Tacker
