Summary: | "Biocultural collections document the remarkable richness and diversity of human engagements with nature. This handbook, written and edited by experts from around the world, is the first practical resource for those involved in the use and curation of such collections. All aspects of the field are covered, from the curation of specimens, artefacts and documents to their associated reference materials and metadata. Throughout there is a strong emphasis on the needs of collection users, ethical considerations and engagement with source communities. This book will be of interest to readers in a wide range of fields including ethnobiology, anthropology, archaeology, agriculture, botany, geography, history, zoology and museum curation."--Back cover.
