Hello all,
The Collection Forum journal is looking for an associate editor
specializing in the conservation of botanical specimens and herbaria.
Duties are as described in the attached document. Associate editors must be
current members of the Society for Preservation of Natural History
Collections (SPNHC). Although this is a volunteer position, associate
editors will serve on the SPNHC Publication Committee and will be
identified on the first page of articles published with their assistance.
For more information, please contact me at editor at spnhc.org.

> Dear Colleagues,

> Earlier this summer the University of Wyoming's administration made the
> decision to close the Biodiversity Institute, an organization that
> coordinates several citizen-science programs and other outreach, funds
> student research, and works closely with the University of Wyoming Museum
> of Vertebrates (UWYMV) on a number of these activities.
>
> If you have a moment, please read below and consider voicing your opinion
> on the decision. You don’t need to have interacted directly with the BI to
> show your support in the survey.
>
> It is currently uncertain how this closure will affect UWYMV, but it will
> be affected nonetheless, in part because the museum and the BI are housed
> in the same building. I believe UWYMV Curator and CM Beth Wommack will
> provide more details as they emerge.

> Friends,
> The below survey is in response to the University of Wyoming’s decision to
> close the Biodiversity Institute (BI). The University’s press release
> announcing the closure can be read here (
> http://www.uwyo.edu/uw/news/2018/07/uw-pivots-in-biodiversity-science.html).
> The purpose of the survey is to determine if residents of Wyoming and
> beyond are supportive of the outreach and engagement activities of the
> Biodiversity Institute, and to gather signatures for a petition to keep the
> BI open. Please take a few minutes of your time to let us know how feel
> about the BI. More information about the BI can be found at
> www.wyobiodiversity.org.

> The survey is here <https://goo.gl/forms/QpFvl8uUxtdIg3ai2>.

> I am working on an upcoming (1 Dec 2018 -1 Mar 2019) exhibition entitled *Pressed

> This exhibition will explore the relationship between amateur and

> mostly herbaria from our own collection but are also borrowing from other

> I am curious if anyone’s collection houses such sheets, fully recognizing
