Dear Palaeontologists of the World,

The International Palaeontological Association is the official 
representative for the palaeontological sciences on the global scene, 
especially to the International Union of Geological Sciences and the 
International Union of Biological Sciences.  Other essential activities 
include sponsorship of International Palaeontological Congresses and 
publication of free online directories [http://ipa.geo.ukans.edu].  The IPA 
aims to promote and coordinate international cooperation in palaeontology 
and to encourage the integration and synthesis of all palaeontological 
knowledge.

Corporate Membership in IPA is open to all palaeontological societies and 
to all scientific organizations having an interest in palaeontology, which
