The aim of the International Palaeontological Association is to promote and coordinate international cooperation in palaeontology, including palaeobotany and palaeozoology of all geological periods, and to encourage the integration and synthesis of all palaeontological knowledge. There has been a long-standing connection between the International Palaeontological Association and the University of Kansas. Roger Kaesler, Department of Geology and former Director of the Paleontological Institute, University of Kansas, was the IPA Treasurer for several years. The current Treasurer of the IPA is Bruce Lieberman, Department of Geology, University of Kansas. The IPA web site was designed by Mike Cormack and is hosted by the Paleontological Institute.      (opens in a new window)
