摘要

Cultural, today mostly scientif ic, reflection on nature finds its physical manifestation in natural history collec- tions (NHCs), which date back to the third century BCE at least. NHCs owe their existence to the formidable variation of life and other natural (e.g., geological) phenomena. Documenting, ordering, understanding this variation, communi- cating and showing it: these have been the classical functions of NHCs. What are the expectations for NHCs today, and how is their performance judged. The present survey captured a snapshot of values and opinions regarding NHCs from 525 poll participants from predominantly North America and Europe, mostly based in academia (41%) and at NHCs (32%), or students (10%). It was found that natural history collections are fascinating or highly interesting places for almost all respondents (challenging the idea that the 'dusty NHC' is really such a wide-spread cliché). Basic research, collection care, and educating the public were the three most often selected NHC core roles. The general impor tance of voucher- ing is acknowledged by the poll participants, and treatment of type material is regarded as near-adequate. Molecular vouch- ers, on the other hand, are considered to deserve more attention, reaching only medium levels of satisfaction, same as NHC data accessibility, sample documentation, and taxonomic expertise at NHCs. Insuff icient funding was the strongest concer n of most survey participants.
