It' s a privilege to be the custodian, to be responsible for this material, but the greatest pleasure for me is to see these old collections, these older parts of the collections still being used in a contemporary and relevant way. There' s a whole raft of technology that' s been developed which means that more and more genetic information can be extracted from older and older specimens, so there' s sort of renaissance for collections like these now with the developments in new techniques and scientific analysis. While some items can spend years hidden away behind the scenes, there are others that are always in demand. A few however, are so famous and so globally important that having one just isn' t enough. One item owned by the Natural History Museum is constantly soughtafter, not just by scientists in the museum, but by scientists all over the world. |
