[Taxacom] Ask President Obama for an Executive Order for the Preservation and Use of Science Collections

[Robert Gropp]

Ask President Obama for an Executive Order for the Preservation and 
Use of Science Collections


As many of you know, last summer the Natural Science Collections 
Alliance launched a campaign to have President Obama establish a 
Presidential Executive Order for the Preservation and Use of Science 
Collections.  A number of scientific societies and natural history 
museums have already endorsed the proposed Order 
(http://nscalliance.org/?p=144).  There is now a need for individuals 
with an interest in scientific collections to write to President 
Obama to ask him to issue the NSC Alliance proposed Executive 
Order.  A letter to the President is now available at 
http://capwiz.com/aibs/issues/alert/?alertid=13948726.  Simply enter 
your name and address and click send to have a copy of this letter 
electronically delivered to the White House.

To read the proposed Executive Order, please go to
