A day exploring natural science collections aimed at those who have little to no experience or knowledge of working with them.
Have you ever wanted to find out more about natural science collections, their care and use? Are you a non-specialist in need of some information on how to facilitate more access to natural science collections? Answer yes to either of these questions and this day is FOR YOU.
The workshop is aimed at people working with natural sciences collections who have a background in the subject but no experience of data mobilisation. Its focus is biological collections.
Registration is now open for #NatSCA 2019! The NatSCA Conference & AGM 2019 will be held between the 1st and 3rd May 2019 at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin.

This one day course will cover all you need to know about looking after entomology collections, from modern collections management techniques and to practical remedial conservation skills. Starting with the basics, the morning session will focus on collections assessment and storage. The afternoon will involve participants in a hands-on practical session covering the various materials and methods used to conserve specimens.
