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

[Efrat Haberman]

Hi everyone,

I would like to recommend this wonderful course.

I participated in it about two years ago and it contributed a lot to my
understanding of  Natural History Collections  .
I came to the course with several years of experience in managing a museum
collection (History and Art) and the course helped me understand how to
manage this type of collection.
