With Jack Sepkoski's sudden death from heart failure on May 1, 1999, paleontology lost one of its most important figures. In his 25–year career, Jack published more than 70 research articles, 15 of them in this journal, and an equal number of reviews, commentaries, and abstracts. He co-edited Paleobiology (1983–86), received the Schuchert Award (1983), and served as President of the Paleontological Society (1995–96). In 1997, he was elected to the Polish Academy of Sciences and in the same year received the Medal of the University of Helsinki. Further recognition would surely have followed but for his untimely death.

The aim of the study was to analyse the content of museum labels from various periods in terms of their usefulness in creating new labels for exhibits included in museum collections. Nearly 5,000 museum labels from the years 1811 to 2017 were reviewed, for exhibits at the Museum of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Herbarium of the University of Wroclaw, and the Museum of Forensic Medicine at the Medical University of Wroclaw. On the basis of the collected information, an attempt was made to develop a ‘universal label’template, including a range of necessary information from the point of view of managing and maintaining the accessibility of the relevant collection.

Early in January 1939, George Barger, apparently in full health, left home to pay a short visit to friends in Switzerland, and to give a few lectures in the University of Basel. On 6 January came the news of his sudden death from heart failure, at Aeschi, on the Lake of Thun. His early death, not long after his sixtieth birthday, entails a heavy loss to science and to academic life in this country, and a deep personal loss to his many friends here; but there are many men of science in other countries also, who will mourn the loss of a valued friend and colleague, whose wide experience and friendly contacts, with men of so many nationalities and languages, have meant much for the promotion and maintenance of international fellowship in science. Barger was born in Manchester in 1878; I have known him, indeed, to be proudly insistent on his status as a British subject by birth. His parentage, however, was bi-national, his father Gerrit Barger being a Dutch engineer who had settled for a time in Manchester and married an English wife.

The State Zoological Museum and the Establishment of the Polish Academy of Sciences: The Beginnings of the Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences The State Zoological Museum, established in 1928, inherited and developed the legacy of the Zoological Cabinet of the University of Warsaw (existing since 1818). The Cabinet’s collection had been gathered for decades and belonged to eminent personages not only in Poland but also in Europe. The Museum and its collections were threatened many times: first by a great fire in 1935, then by the German attack on Warsaw in 1939 and subsequent occupation, as well as by the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising and the destruction of the city. After the post-war reconstruction of the Museum, it was time to function in a new political reality, in which the most significant change for this institution was the establishment of the Polish Academy of Sciences. A planned inclusion of the State Zoological Museum in the structures of the newly-founded Polish Academy of Sciences meant that the scientists had to face a dilemma: in exchange for research funds and career development opportunities, they were expected to show favour to the communists and readiness to implement the idea of socialism. In the background of this process, numerous scientific conferences took place, where controversial visions of the future of biological sciences clashed. This process resulted in the transformation of the State Zoological Museum into the Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
