Hello all,

We've had an enquiry about getting someone to write a statement of significance for the natural history and geology collection in Hastings Museum. 

There is money available to support this that needs to be committed (although not necessarily spent) by the end of this month. See below for details.

If you would be willing and able to conduct a review of the collection and write a report please contact Catherine directly.

Many thanks,

Paolo

Hello,

I wonder if you could suggest someone to help us.

We are currently nearing the end of an ACE-funded Resilience review which has included a pilot Collections Review. To complete this work, we would like some statements of significance on various areas of our collections, from nationally-recognised bodies.

One area is our natural history and geology – specifically probably the Hastings rarities specimens and some of the Wealden flora fossils. We have £500 to cover time, travel and accommodation.

Is this something you could put out to members, or suggest anyone we could approach? As is the nature of such funding, we need to commit it before end March but the work can be carried out in April/May.

I attach a list of Rarities specimens and a couple of links – one to our website re rarities and the other is best introduction to our fossil collection.
