Food and Beverage / Social Functions: Wine and Cheese / Beer and Pretzels are getting old. Time to try something different The Conference team has been working on this are currently investigating new food and beverages to offer. Watch the 2025 program for new developments Please bring back snacks in morning and afternoon breaks In an effort to keep Conference costs low for everyone we currently do not offer snacks at breaks. The team will continue to look into this idea and seek resources.

Thank you Kelly Ayers, MLS, MS, CSCSA for keep us up to date!! Check out the archives!
I got to hold Henry Faulds's personal copy of Galton's 1892 book, "Finger Prints." In the margins of almost every page, Faulds had scribbled notes in pencil -- notes not at all complimentary to Galton. At one point in the book, Faulds had been so angry he had violently stabbed the book with his sharpened pencil, penetrating many pages. I could feel Faulds's angry ghost looking over my shoulder, screaming how he had been pushed aside and abused by Galton. Would you like to attend the annual conferences of the IAI from 1915 through 1958? You can! During those years, there were no breakouts of workshops, only one lecture hall where all of the lectures and meetings were held. A stenographer took down every word of the entire conference and the whole session was published as "The Proceedings." I was amazed reading some of those old meeting documentaries that the problems that were the focus of discussions in the 1930s were the same topics we were still arguing the the 1990s. I had the honor of being the IAI Librarian from about 1995 through 1999 and assembling the foundation of the current IAI Library. The library is housed today at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV, and is available to IAI members and other researchers. If you are researching a topic on fingerprints, crime scene investigations, firearms, or any of a wide variety of other topics in the IAI disciplines, the library in an invaluable resource that is available to you for free. I tried to write a brief history of the IAI Library for this post, but it was too long for the LinkedIn format. However, the attached PDF has that history, plus comments on some of our more interesting acquisitions, and information on how to access the collection. #theinternationalassociationforidentification #fingerprinthistory #henryfaulds #francisgalton #fingerprintlibrary

Certificates and Badges Would prefer individual workshop certificates in a more professional format. The conference team appreciates this feedback. We used a new program for Certificates for Conference 2024. We will take feedback to our software provider to improve the certificates. Name and Agency on badges needs to be larger and more readable We strive to put as much information as we can on the conference badge. Currently some badges have more information than others: Country flag, speaker/presenter, Student, etc. We will work to make the name and Agency larger this year.
