The Art of Collecting

<p>Did you know a man in the UK holds the record for largest traffic cone collection? Or that the largest collection of bottle caps is over 101,000 pieces? What does it mean to collect and why do we do it?</p><p>Presented by the University of Iowa Pentacrest Museums and the University of Iowa Libraries Special Collections & Archives, audiences will dive into the origins and culture around collecting and explore unique personal collections with special guests.

As we examine the theme of collecting, guest collectors will share their unique personal collection stories ranging from Pez dispensers to geodes, sheet music, butter pat dishes and more. Participants will also learn how they can submit their own collections for an opportunity to be exhibited in future exhibitions.</p><p>Registration is free <a href="http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=xnvgogkab&oeidk=a07ehx97uyxf7c34f3d">HERE</a></p><p>Presentation Hosts:</p><p>Carolina Kaufman, Director of Education and Engagement, The UI Pentacrest Museums<br>Elizabeth Riordan, Outreach and Engagement Librarian, UI Libraries Special Collections & Archives<br>Guest Collectors:</p><p>Bryan Kendall, Pez collector<br>Colton Neely, Music Sheet collector<br>Elizabeth Riordan, Butter Pat Dish collector<br>Laura Sievert, Geode collector</p><p>_________________________________</p><p>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events.

1st Annual Ashton Prairie BioBlitz

<h5>What types of plants, animals, and fungal life might you find at a newly restored prairie site? Let's find out! </h5><p>Join researchers in collecting, observing, and recording biodiversity at the Ashton Prairie site in our 1st Annual BioBlitz. Your findings will inform a major research project and will contribute to the first data point in a multi-year documentation of how diversity changes at this site over time. Collections will be housed with the UI Museum of Natural History collections, accessible for comparative data analysis for generations to come. </p><p>Participants will have the opportunity to examine insects under professional microscopes, will learn how to identify a variety of species (with the iNaturalist app and the naked eye), and will learn how these collections and observations contribute to greater research and ecological health. Guests will also learn from leaders of the prairie restoration project about the vision for the prairie. Facilitators include University of Iowa Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Office of Sustainability and the Environment, The Iowa Raptor Project, UI Museum of Natural History, the Iowa City Science Booster Club, and 10 visiting Interdisciplinary Evolutionary Sciences research students with additional support from the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research.</p><p>This is an all ages event, no experience required, families welcome. As this is the 1st Annual event, we hope to see some young scientists who can grow along with the biodiversity at the prairie over the years.</p><h5><strong>Registration is required + free. Sign up <a href="http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=xnvgogkab&oeidk=a07ei1n28b3309d2ac9">HERE</a>. </strong>We'll tell you all you need to know about the day of once you register. </h5> 2021-06-03 12:00:00 -0500
