Their scientific interest embraces the history of the whole of plant and animal life in the form of fossils, the planet Earth as rocks and minerals, a wide range of physical materials and chemicals, and the history of science through collections as entities and their associated archives. Museums and geological collections vary greatly, ranging from the small local collection with specimens of relatively restricted provenance to the national museums with enormous ranges and numbers, and because so many activities go to make up curation. There is, however, a consensus among geologists and museum professionals on how such curation should be exercised.Fossil Record [organisation] - https://www.fossil-record.net/index.html Fossil Record is the palaeontological journal of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin.
