Statement of Purpose

This page offers SPNHC members a permanent place to share and expand the reach of posters shared at SPNHC events such as our yearly conference. Otherwise, posters tend to be ephemeral. Poster content aggregates a LOT of intellectual capital. Let us all change community practice to give posters, people, and the content generated, a broader reach, and longer shelf life.

Realizing the import of collections and related materials ^[1][2][3], SPNHC recognizes the need to collaborate to develop, discover, disseminate and update best (better, current, recommended) practices for creating digital collections resources and publishing them for global access. Posters linked here represent the efforts of many collections worldwide. All in the collections and standards community are encouraged to contribute.

Poster Guidelines & Sharing

Interested in sharing a SPHNC poster presented at a past meeting? Best Practices committee members are soliciting copies of SPNHC posters from previous conference years to add to the SPNHC wiki. Authors should ensure that they have permissions to publicly share the images and information embedded in posters prior to publishing to the wiki.

In order to standardize content and maintain a web-friendly poster resolution, we ask that authors send digital copies of posters and relevant metadata to the Best Practices committee rather than upload directly to the wiki. Please provide the following information to Emily Braker:

• Conference year or venue (helpful for finding abstract)
• Author name(s) and affiliation(s)
• Keywords (up to 5)
• Poster formatted as a PDF, down-sampled to ~1500 pixel widths (if you are unfamiliar with resizing, a Best Practices member can do this for you). Full-resolution posters that are not down-sampled can very easily break the wiki since they can consume as much as 1GB memory to process.
• Optional: - email contact, ORCID ID, twitter handle (include only if you are willing share with wiki viewers).

Thank you to all poster contributors, and we encourage past SPNHC poster authors to consider sharing their work on the wiki so that it will continue to serve as a resource for others. Note that 2021 was a virtual conference year with no SPNHC poster submissions.

2019 Gallery

This gallery shares a selection of posters from the SPNHC 2019 Conference hosted in Chicago. Hover over images for poster keywords. Posters in this gallery are part of a retrocapture project and therefore not all posters presented at the 2019 meeting are represented below. Poster authors interested in sharing digital versions of posters from previous SPNHC meetings should contact Emily Braker.
