[Nhcoll-l] Care and Management of Natural History Collections

[John E Simmons]

 There are only 3 slots available for the live online course “Care and
Management of Natural History Collections”.

Dates and schedule:
Online live sessions on 9th, 11th, 16th, 18th, 23rd, and 25th of April,
from 16:00 to 20:30 (Madrid time zone). Total course hours: 40; 27 hours of
live sessions, plus 13 hours of pre-recorded lectures to watch
asynchronously.

Instructors:
John E. Simmons (Museologica, USA) and Dr. Greg McDonald (Bureau of Land
Management, USA)

Course Overview:
Using a combination of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and readings,
this course will teach participants how to better care for and manage all
natural history collections (including botany, geosciences, and zoology).
The importance of the collections storage environment is emphasized, as
well as the identification and selection of inert materials, testing
locally available materials, adapting collections care standards to
particular environmental conditions, and good management through sound
policies and collection planning. Rather than the traditional
discipline-based approach, the course teaches collections care based on
collection material and preparation type―dry preparations, wet
preparations, and documentation (including paper-based and electronic
media).

The course will benefit individuals who already have experience in caring
for natural history collections, as well as those who intend to work with
natural history collections.
