The Federation for Natural Sciences Collections Research is an adhoc body set up in 1980 to co-ordinate the activities of regional groups of curators in the UK who then were beginning to survey natural science collections [Botany, Geology, Zoology] in their areas. After two decades a great deal of information has been gathered and published, and this Website has been set up to provide both a searchable national database of collection information, and to provide current and archive information about collections research in the British Isles
