SUMMARY:FOMS Lecture - Ryan Klockner and Ted Bayles
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Klockner\n“The Importance of Cataloging Minerals in Private and Shared Databases.” (1 hour)  As the creator of Geology365.com\, Ryan explores why cataloging a mineral collection is more than just record keeping—it’s preservation of history\, value\, and knowledge. He’ll look at how collectors documented specimens in the past\, examine real examples where provenance and written history dramatically increased a specimen’s significance\, and discuss the risks of relying on memory alone. \nThe talk will then transition into practicable\, modern techniques for cataloging\, including a walkthrough of how collectors can efficiently organize\, track\, and preserve their collections using Geology365. Whether your collection is small or museum-scale\, this session will show how proper documentation turns “just rocks” into a lasting legacy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker / Demonstration and Training \nTed Bayles\, owner of Franklin Mineral Rock And History\, Franklin\, NJ\n“Understanding Willemite from Franklin and Sterling Hill.”\nHands-on training and Q&A. Ted will bring a flat of willemite specimens in assorted colors. (30 minutes)
