We also look
after a book collection which ranges from
general interest natural history books to very
detailed scientific texts. These books are
regularly used by museum staff, researchers and
amateur historians and are invaluable in helping
to identify specimens.
There is also a good collection of photographs
in the form of 35mm slides. These images,
donated by a range of individuals, are used for
reference and are increasingly used on our
websites, in the gallery and in publications.
The museum also has a range of scientific
equipment including microscopes, dissecting and
measuring equipment, a fume cupboard and a
freeze-drying machine.
