Natural History Storage
The storage and preservation of specimens of natural history is extremely important in light of the fact that collections of this type are rarely added to due to the rules and regulations surrounding the way in which specimens are obtained. Many of the collections that exist are highly vulnerable and often irreplaceable due to species becoming endangered or even extinct. Storage and preservation conditions need to be perfect if such specimens are to continue to exist in the future and, because size, materials and the way in which objects have been mounted and displayed vary considerably, it is likely that you will need an adaptable storage solution that is easily adjustable to meet your needs.
We understand that natural history collections are very vulnerable when it comes to the environment in which they are stored, which is why we have developed a range of shelving that is designed specifically to suit your collection, from the storage of large mammals to smaller collections of entomological specimens and birds eggs, for example.
Our innovative drawer units, either built in to standard bays of shelving or as standalone units, are perfect for your public access and visible storage requirements as they allow objects of natural history to be safely preserved, whilst still allowing members of the public or faculty to view the collection without touching the objects.
Slide out drawer units and cabinets can be used to accommodate small items, including insects, mammal and bird skins, as well as birds eggs.
From initial consultation, our Museums Storage experts will work with you to ensure you get the right solution for your requirement at a price that suits your budget. Our professional team will carry out a full audit of your existing collection as well as liaising with your department to ensure we understand the preservation and handling restrictions that govern the specimens therein.
We will provide you with a fully integrated solution that you can adjust to fit your ongoing storage requirements and our experts are always available to provide you and your team with product training, as and when you require it.
