Natural Science Collections: The Basics

A day exploring natural science collections aimed at those who have little to no experience or knowledge of working with them.

Have you ever wanted to find out more about natural science collections, their care and use? Are you a non-specialist in need of some information on how to facilitate more access to natural science collections? Answer yes to either of these questions and this day is FOR YOU.

Topics include:
• using natural science collections with school groups

• writing labels and interpreting natural science objects
• how to document your natural science collection with zero natural science knowledge
