Curating the Past, Creating the Future: Legacies in Biological Recording

Thursday 5th May – Saturday 7th May 2022

Oxford University Museum of Natural History / Online via Zoom

Watch the talks on our YouTube channel!

The theme for our 2022 conference was the legacies created by biological recording. From safeguarding historic specimen collections to dealing with personal photographs, we aimed to cover various aspects of usefully preserving biological recording outputs for present and future generations.

The conference talks took place at Oxford University Museum of Natural History on 5th & 6th May, and were simultaneously live streamed for online attendees.

This was followed on Saturday 7th May by a field trip to Wytham Woods, a species rich site which has been maintained and researched by Oxford University for 80 years. You can learn about the site on their website.

Many thanks to our partners, OUNHM and the Field Studies Council (FSC), for helping us to deliver this event.
