Natural history collections aim to preserve the natural world for future generations to enjoy and learn from. By pinning insects, pressing plants, preparing skeletons, raising animals, cleaning fossils, and storing minerals, these collections are valuable sources of information for both the public and researchers. The Natural History Collections Club strives to learn more about these precious collections at Virginia Tech and help them in any way we can. To learn more about the club, visit the "about" tab.
