Hi All, Are you going to SPNHC 2017 in Denver from June 21-22? The Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) says -- Ho! Ho! Ho! Can't believe it's almost Christmas. Please give SPNHC 2017 organizers the best Christmas and New Year's present ever - the gift of your abstract. Let's hear what you've been up to and what you're planning. What's been learned this year and where are you going next year with digitization of your natural history collections? Who is using your collections data? How are you expanding the list of communities using / finding your data? Have you found new uses for your digitized collections data? SPNHC 2017 organizers have very eager elves who have requested to see your abstracts by January 13th. The theme is: "The Next Generation in Best Practices."
