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 (IUGS) and the 
International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS).  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
