As a scientific collection is referred to
any systematic collection of objects for the study of nature or of the human history
as well as the institutions, organizations or sub-organizations that build such collections preserve, develop systematically and make accessible and useful. These institutions often examine the collections also itself.
Important objects of research collections
in the field of Geology are in particular minerals, rock samples and drilling cores,
in the field of biology in particular plants, fungi, animals, bacteria, archaea and viruses and their remains,
in the field of history for example, wood samples with annual rings, pottery and coins not only for the study of these objects themselves, but also e.g. to determine the age of finds during excavations or ice cores and cores of sediments in lakes for the study of climate history .
Important goals of these collections are the items collected for research to make tangible and accessible, hold reference objects for comparison purposes as well as the systematization and naming with scientific names of the collected objects (taxonomy) .
