Description

Museum Collection Data. Data for specimens in the natural history collections of Tullie House Museum, digitised thus far.

Purpose

To document the natural history collections at Tullie House Museum which aim to provide a permanent material resource for the study of natural history in Cumbria, support biological recording through the preservation of voucher material and to provide a reference collection of British species as an aid to local naturalist.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

All specimens have been identified by experienced naturalists in their field. However specimens in some critical groups have not been recently reviewed by a competent authority and should be assessed in that context.

Method steps

  1. Collections of local naturalists donated to the Museum from 1893 to present. Recent material includes voucher specimens for specific invertebrate surveys in Cumbria.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

United Kingdom generally and predominantly Cumbria.
