The Natural History Collections Club Network (NHCCN) will be hosting a ½ day workshop at the annual meeting of the Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The meeting will take place from March 28-31, 2018 and the workshop will be on either Thursday, March 29 or Friday, March 30. We have funding to support six individuals to attend the workshop and ASB. The NHCCN is made of several clubs that are curator-advised, student-driven organizations aimed at enhancing local natural history collections by helping to train student volunteers to assist in curating and managing them. The network represents clubs from all types of universities but seems to most benefit those with small collections as a way to protect and raise enthusiasm for their collections. We are particularly interested in institutions with small collections and/or minority serving institutions but anyone is welcome to apply. Application deadline is February 16, 2018.
