Dear colleagues, This course is not on Geometric Morphometrics, but I think it is relevant for many researchers using GM who work or plan to start working on Natural History Collections: “Care and Management of Natural History Collections”.
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*. Dates and schedule: *Online live sessions* on May 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 20th, and 22nd, 2025;* f*rom *16:00 to 20:30* (Madrid time zone). Instructors: *John E. Simmons <https://www.transmittingscience.com/instructors/john-e-simmons/>* (Museologica, USA) and *Dr. Greg McDonald <https://www.transmittingscience.com/instructors/greg-mcdonald/>* (Bureau of Land Management, USA). Complete information and registrations: *https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/museums-and-collections/care-management-natural-history-collections/ <https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/museums-and-collections/care-management-natural-history-collections/>* 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).
