VicPS has officially changed its name from the Victoria Palaeontology Society to the Victoria Peleontological Society. Two things were accomplished with this change: the “dipthong” was removed, and the use of “paleontological” has our name conform to the word usage in the names of our associated regional societies.
Apart from the name change, our mission remains the same:
- promote an interest in paleontology
- contribute to education and scientific knowledge in paleontology and other earth sciences
- collect, preserve, study, and catalogue fossils
- hold lectures, seminars, and exhibits of fossils
There will be more wording and contact email id changes occuring over time as a result of this change. Meanwhile, the old website URL and contact email ids will continue to work.
