“The Road to Productive Partnerships”
Joint Annual Meeting of the Society for the Preservation
of Natural History Collections and the Natural Science
Collections Alliance
Albuquerque, New Mexico
May 23-27, 2006
Please join us in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the second
joint annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation
of Natural History Collections and the Natural Science
Collections Alliance. The meeting site is at the Hotel
Albuquerque at Old Town, located in the heart of
Albuquerque’s historical district.
Our plenary speakers include Dr. Peter Raven and Dr. Jorge
Soberón. In addition to invited and submitted talks, a
poster session, and trade show, the conference will offer
several ‘special sessions’ on border and permit issues,
data sharing and bioinformatics, issues involving
Federally-associated collections, and training the next
generation of collections care personnel. A selection of
half-day and full-day pre-conference field trips to some
of the most unique areas in New Mexico will be available.
We are offering a selection of half-day workshops and one
full-day workshop that will highlight recent advances in
biodiversity informatics. Three half-day workshops will
cover the topics of improving data quality and data
cleaning; the ins and outs of imaging for museum
collections; and an overview of Arctos, an evolving
web-based data model for museum partners. The Global
Biodiversity Information Facility will host a whole day
workshop on how to become a GBIF data provider. Workshops
will highlight developing features and provide
instructional presentations. Check the meeting website for
additional information.
