We are very pleased to welcome our two new patrons, Professor Alice Roberts and Professor Iain Stewart, who have kindly agreed to use their excellent communication skills to help us in our efforts to advocate natural science collections.

With the generous support of Arts Council England, NatSCA has started a project to (amongst other things) revamp our communications, both with members and the wider collections and natural sciences communities.
NatSCA has produced a variety of publications throughout its history. Many of these are available as PDFs to freely download, using the navigation menu to the left.
You can also find publications about the recognised value of collections here.
The next issue of the Journal of Natural Science Collections is due to be published in January 2027. If you would like to contribute a paper to the next volume, please contact the editor (editor@natsca.org) and see our guidelines for authors, which you can download as a PDF here. Deadline for submissions is 30th June 2026.
