The Echinoderm Newsletter was founded in 1967 by Dave Pawson at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C. Later it was managed for some years by John Lawrence until it came back to the Smithsonian and Cynthia Ahearn. Newsletter 25 was the last printed version distributed to hundreds of subscribers in 2000. Then, the Virtual Echinoderm Newsletter was designed by Susan Hottenrott. In March 2004, parts of the newsletter have been recreated at this site in an effort to provide a basic service to the echinoderm research community. Its new home is the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm.
