Workshop on Living and Culture Collections; Chicago, IL; May 13, 1988

系统收藏协会将于1988年5月13日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥的菲尔德自然历史博物馆举办一次关于生活和文化收藏的研讨会。研讨会的目的是讨论活体藏品和其他非传统研究藏品的组装、维护和使用问题。动物园、植物园、文化收藏和其他活的和冷冻的收藏，包括临床标本和种子库的收藏，将被展出。讲习班将确定导致形成活体藏品的研究需求、现有藏品的类型、筹资方法(包括使用费)以及与长期维护有关的问题。它还将寻求一种机制，以确定现有藏品的位置，并评估其质量、可获得性和研究重要性。研讨会将由一系列圆桌会议组成。工作文件将在会议前分发。后续行动将包括成立一个活体收藏委员会，该委员会将制定可能导致对活体和文化收藏品进行认证的战略。这项奖励提供部分资金，使一些主要参与者得以出席，并支付编写工作文件和报告的部分行政费用。//

The Association of Systematic Collections will hold a workshop on Living and Culture Collections on May 13, 1988 at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the problems of assembling, maintaining and using living collections and other non- traditional research collections. Zoos, botanical gardens, culture collections and other living and frozen collections, including collections of clinical specimens and seed banks, will be represented. The workshop will identify research needs leading to formation of living collections, the types of collections that exist, approaches to funding (including user fees), and problems relating to long-term maintenance. It will also seek a mechanism to locate the existing collections and evaluate their quality, accessibility and importance for research. The workshop will consist of a series of roundtable sessions. Working papers will be distributed prior to the meeting. Follow-up will include formation of a living collections committee that will develop strategies possibly leading to accreditation of living and culture collections. This award provides partial funding to allow some of the key participants to attend and to defray some of the administrative costs of preparing the working papers and reports.//
