Conservation of Natural History Specimens is the first volume to comprehensively cover all aspects of the conservation of the whole range of natural history materials.

Including contributions from a diverse group of experts working around the world, the book covers all natural history preservation methods and materials in detail and shares recent developments in the field, giving conservation and curation professionals the confidence to take the appropriate steps to preserve this essential part of our heritage. The book is divided into seven parts, each of which broadly covers a specific type of preservation or material. Each part contains illustrative examples and useful techniques covering numerous topics, including: preventive conservation, fluid-preserved biological specimens, dry-preserved zoological specimens; entomology, botany and fungi, geology, and cross-discipline groups. Taking a holistic approach that covers scientific and craft-based remedial techniques, as well as preventive conservation, the book will be an essential resource for institutions of all sizes.
