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.

Conservation of Natural History Specimens is an indispensable resource for all individuals working with, studying, and conserving natural history collections, including conservators, conservation scientists, curators, collection managers, art historians, industrial historians, archaeologists, collectors and other allied professionals.
