Systematics Societies in the World

[Pierre Deleporte]

Hi everybody in the Veranda,

This message is send in the name of the French Systematics Society

We have a web site at:

http://sfs.snv.jussieu.fr/index.html

We have decided to put on this site direct links to all Systematics
Societies in the world. This is in progress at:

http://sfs.snv.jussieu.fr/lienssyst.html


The idea is not only to provide easy connection and information for the
users of our site,
more than this, this list of direct links is intended as a symbol of common
goals shared by French and other Systematics Societies worldwide for the
defense and promotion of systematics.
Becoming more conscious of what we really are as a series of Systematics
Societies is just one encouraging factor for possible synergic actions (we
don't mean fusion of the societies).

Thus we want to post a complete list, and then will suggest that other
societies do simply the same thing.

IF YOU KNOW THE WEB SITE ADDRESS OF OTHER (see below) SYSTEMATICS
SOCIETIES, whose goals are the promotion of systematics in a general sense
(i.e. not confined to a restricted taxonomic group), please answer me
personally (not to the list!)

Presently we have posted direct links for (in alphabetic order):

   Society of Systematic Biologists
   Southern African Society for Systematic Biology
   The Systematics Association
   The Willy Hennig Society

and also, in a different register but with some clearly shared goals:

   Association of Systematics Collections
   The Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections


Thank you for any suggestions
Pierre
