Whether it’s cataloguing specimens, conserving historic material, identifying items, improving records, or simply discovering the stories behind objects collected by previous generations of naturalists, there is always something interesting to investigate.
No specialist knowledge is required—just curiosity, enthusiasm, and an interest in the Society’s rich heritage. Members are welcome to learn new skills, share expertise, and help preserve these important collections for future generations.
Our curation sessions are friendly, informal, and open to all. Whether you are an experienced naturalist or completely new to the Society’s collections, you will be warmly welcomed and encouraged to explore, learn, ask questions, and contribute to preserving our shared heritage.
The Curation Group meets on the first and third Monday of each month at 11:00 AM at The Humfrey Rooms. New members and visitors are always welcome to come along and see what we do.
Designed to be enjoyable and accessible to everyone, the Curation Group is a great way to learn about the Society’s collections, develop new skills, and contribute to the care and documentation of specimens, books and archives for future generations.
