SPNHC 2018 Fundraising Drive
In the near future, the Professional Development Committee of SPNHC will be kicking off a special donation drive to
raise funds for additional travel awards for our 2018 annual
meeting to be held in Dunedin, New Zealand. As well as
general donations, they will be providing opportunities for
sponsors and vendors to have naming rights on an award for
a $1000 donation. Look for a more detailed announcement,
including other donation levels and benefits, on NHCOLLL, Facebook and our website, and please contribute if you
can! Information about the requirements for the travel award
competition will follow.
A large number of SPNHC members have been directly
involved in the 18 TCN and 17 PEN proposals that have
been funded through the ADBC program and coordinated
by iDigBio. These successful proposals have ultimately led
not only to increased digitization and imaging of specimen
records, but also community engagement in the development
of standards, protocols and best practices for digitization and
data management. Through the end of May 2017, iDigBio
had worked with 616 collections in 319 U.S. institutions, and
the iDigBio portal contained 104,661,569 specimen records
and 21,241,288 media records.
SPNHC Special Service Award to iDigBio
At the 32nd Annual Business Meeting of the Society for
the Preservation of Natural History Collections held in June
of this year in Denver, Colorado, a number of awards were
presented, including a Special Service Award to representatives of iDigBio. The SPNHC Special Service award honors
an individual or group of individuals for special effort leading
to the success of an important event or activity of the Society
and is a statement of the Society's appreciation.

Over the last six years, through numerous workshops, webinars and training sessions, iDigBio has shared knowledge and
expertise with a large number of SPNHC members, advanced
the field of specimen digitization, and been involved in cosponsoring SPNHC meeting sessions and events. Specifically,
iDigBio has sponsored 3,703 participants from 558 institutions to attend 104 workshops, plus 4,081 participants to 108
webinars that targeted digitization-related topics.
The nomination of iDigBio as a group recognizes the efforts
of all involved in iDigBio for their continued contribution
to the realms of natural history collection digitization, best
practices, standards and community training. The great work
that iDigBio has accomplished over their six years has had
an immense and positive impact on SPNHC members and
the collections that they represent, as well as the collections
community as a whole in multiple and diverse ways. Overall,
iDigBio has tirelessly worked to establish communication
among various stakeholders to increase access to collections
data through workshops, webinars, social media and their
data portal.
26 * SPNHC Connection
Their active engagement in the SPNHC annual meetings
through similar workshops, sessions and training opportunities has added immensely to the success of these meetings and expanded the Society's collective outreach into
the broader collections community. iDigBio has also been
involved in mentoring emerging professionals in the collections community, an important benefit to the society and to
collections in general, through established Society programs
and iDigBio initiatives.
In addition, the efforts of iDigBio in highlighting small collections have contributed to the ever-increasing advocacy for
these under-appreciated resources while also including them
in the wider discussion and promotion of digitization and
best practices. The involvement of iDigBio in TDWG training courses and sessions has helped to forge new partnerships
and closer collaboration between the two Societies as their
