The Biological Collections in CSIRO: a National Heritage?

Abstract

From the organization's earliest days, several Divisions of CSIRO have assembled substantial collections of biological species. These include a wide variety of plants and animals. Some collections consist of live organisms, some of preserved material. The origins and the functions of the collections vary; most of them now contain material of considerable value. Their history is intriguing, and their future has continued to be a question of importance.
