HOW TO MAKE A HOME NATURE MUSEUM

by Vinson Brown ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 22, 1954

The author of The Amateur Naturalist's Handbook (1948) covers a wide range here of possibilities for different types of collections and how to display them. Emphasizing care and originality, he not only tells how to collect but outlines as well a bit of the theory of the sciences involved. Preparing space, note taking, classifying (excellent directions here on the use of scientific references), mounting, moulds and models, etc. are some of the sections and within each there is material on the type of specimen- rocks, animals, insects and so forth. Appendixes and a substantial bibliography buttress the already substantial text.
