BL5312 NATURAL HISTORY COLLECTIONS AND CONSERVATION
Can the dead save the Earth? Natural history collections, being crucial repositories of biological specimens, are indispensable for scientific research and public education.

Topics include the changing roles of natural history collections from the past to the future, and different aspects of specimen-based research—from the field to the museum shelves and public gallery, to the world beyond via applications in research (e.g., ecology, evolution, global change) and scientific communication.
