Collections are maintained in the following disciplines: anthropology (including archaeology and ethnology), botany, entomology, gems and minerals, malacology, paleontology, science history and technology, and vertebrate zoology. The artifacts and specimens come from worldwide locations and were acquired by the Museum through gifts from the general public, staff field collection and salvage efforts, and purchases and exchanges with other scientific organizations. The Museum uses the artifacts and specimens for public exhibition, as loans to other museums, and for educational programs and research.Stewardship policy for collections The Museum is responsible for the preservation of its collections in perpetuity.
