Description
DescriptionFounded in 1990, the Entomological Collections Network (ECN) is now the largest organization in the world dedicated to promoting entomological science through the preservation, management, use and development of entomological collections and to disseminating information and fostering communications between collections managers and collections-based researchers around the world regarding best practices in entomological (and arthropod) natural history collections. The Network is organized and operated exclusively for scientific and educational purposes. Although most of ECN’s membership is based at U.S. institutions, the Network has expanded in recent years to include members from more than 20 other countries. ECN enjoys a strong cooperative relationship and overlapping membership with the Systematics, Biodiversity and Evolution section of the Entomological Society of America, a 7,000+ member organization devoted to the promotion of entomological science overall and those that undertake it in all of its many subdisciplines.
