                 NIC Releases Report About Preservation

    The National Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Property
    (NIC) announces the release of Preserving Natural Science
    Collections: Chronicle of Our Environmental Heritage (by W. Donald
    Duckworth, Hugh H. Genoways, and Carolyn L. Rose).  This report
    culminates more than two years' work by NIC's Conservation and
    Preservation of Natural Science Collections project.

    The report asks collecting institutions to educate the public about
    the uses of natural science collections and the importance of
    preserving them.  The report recommends the creation of a natural
    science conservation training program, suggests curricula, and lists
    topics for conservation research and technology transfer.

    The publication is available for handling and air mail shipping
    charges: USA: US $8.00; Canada and Mexico: US $9.00; all other
    countries: US $16.00.  To order or receive a list of the 20 summary
