The Vertebrate Zoology collection, originating from National Museums Liverpool (NML)’s founding collection bequeathed by the 13th Earl of Derby, has remained at the heart of NML’s purpose. The collection has evolved into unique, globally significant, sociocultural objects, mirroring Britain’s historical relations with the rest of the world, and highlighting humans’ connections with, and perceptions of, the Natural World. This is in addition to its role as a key source of biological records, documenting, and facilitating investigation of, the diversity, distribution and change in the living systems with which we share our planet. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the team that take care of this extraordinary collection and work to make it as accessible as we can.
