The following policies are aimed at balancing our aim to ensure access and usefulness of the collection with our responsibility to preserve the material. Please let us know if you have questions.
Access to the collections
Visitors are welcome to use the collections and the work areas, available throughout the herbarium. Upon arrival, please sign the visitors book and let staff know you are there. Staff will assist novice users until they become familiar with standard protocols for handling delicate museum specimens. Microscopes and wireless internet are available for use by visitors. Unless otherwise advised by staff, all specimens removed from cabinets should stay on the work tables for staff to re-file.
For visits involving multiple hours or days, please contact us in advance to ensure available workspace.
