Book Description:
Addresses a number of questions about the natural world and how we relate to it, as exemplified in the collections of biological and geological material held in museums and scientific institutions throughout the world. The book explores the scientific, cultural and monetary values of natural science collections with the primary aim of informing and influencing Government of those collections policy on the care, use and development of those collections. The input of thought, knowledge and experience has produced a focused consensus output in the form of a set of recommendations. These recommendations have been presented to the United Kingdom's national museum advisory body, The Museums and Galleries Commission. It is hoped that these might also be taken to equivalent governmental organizations in other countries. This will reflect both the international representation at this conference, and the international currency of knowledge represented by natural science collections.
