Antarctic collections have been a primary focus of many climate change studies, but collections from within the Arctic Circle have been less involved in this research. However, in the last few years special attention has been focused on Arctic specimen collections and expeditions to the Arctic have become more frequent. Arctic collections in museums can provide valuable information about biodiversity in the region, as well as the impacts of climate change on species and ecosystems. By studying these collections, researchers can better understand the past and present state of the Arctic and use this knowledge to help forecast how the region may change in the future. This information can be used to develop strategies to mitigate the negative effects of climate change and protect Arctic biodiversity. Some of the scientific benefits of researching on these collections include the study of individual species, populations, and the environments in which they lived, how these species have evolved in time, and whether Arctic species are being replaced by others from lower latitudes. Warming in the Arctic has already led to permafrost thaw, sea ice melt and coastline erosion, causing infrastructure collapse, while rising levels of CO 2 lead to acidification. This warming needs to be addressed, as these changes endanger not only the environment and ecosystems but also the local population’s well-being and food security. Access to Arctic collections is important for researchers in these fields, and many museums and research institutions work to make their collections as widely available as possible for scientific study. The Arctic Ocean, unlike the Southern Ocean, is surrounded by land that","PeriodicalId":80959,"journal":{"name":"Collections : the newsletter of the Archives and Special Collections on Women in Medicine, the Medical College of Pennsylvania","volume":"33 1","pages":"263 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84265122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High-resolution digital images for all specimens in this collection have recently been obtained and accompanying specimen label data have been transcribed. Digitizing this invaluable botanical collection from Greenland allows us to make nearly 170,000 Arctic plant specimens available online to researchers, amateur botanists, nature managers and advisers, as well as the general public. Improved access to this museum collection will facilitate global change research and nature management in Greenland’s rapidly changing Arctic environment and will help promote the value of digitizing Arctic specimens maintained in natural history collections worldwide. Current and potential applications of Arctic herbarium material in climate change studies, and the biases and limitations of such herbarium material for these studies are discussed.","PeriodicalId":80959,"journal":{"name":"Collections : the newsletter of the Archives and Special Collections on Women in Medicine, the Medical College of Pennsylvania","volume":"52 1","pages":"310 - 321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90945013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of these collections refer to those of the Head of the Scientific Commission of the Pacific, the mariner and naturalist Patricio Paz y Membiela (accessioned in 1873), and the malacologists Joaquín González Hidalgo and Florentino Azpeitia (accessioned in 1913 and 1934 respectively). Recently there has been a donation from the collector and diplomat Javier Conde de Saro which was accessioned in the MNCN in 2011 and a collection of the curator of the Mollusca Collection, Rafael Araujo, of 2010. These specimens belong to twenty-six species (fifteen marine and three freshwater gastropods; six marine and one freshwater bivalves; and one polyplacophoran) from places such as Kola Peninsula, Greenland, and Novaya Zembla; and Russian Arctic waters. All of these specimens have been databased and are an important contribution to global research as mollusk are heavily affected by temperature changes and ocean acidification.","PeriodicalId":80959,"journal":{"name":"Collections : the newsletter of the Archives and Special Collections on Women in Medicine, the Medical College of Pennsylvania","volume":"28 1","pages":"366 - 379"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83733196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The space gives visitors a chance to interact with the museum collection items. These are acquired education collections, belonging to the Office of Education and Outreach (E&O). The collections in Q?rius include 6,000 specimens representing the Museum’s seven disciplines—anthropology, botany, entomology, invertebrate zoology, mineral sciences, paleobiology, and vertebrate zoology. A collaborative survey team was set up to assess collection items before their rehousing and storage in the publicly accessible Collections Zone. The result was a risk rating system, developed to minimize the risks to our visitors and to our collections. This system allows collections staff to make housing recommendations that ensures the safety of NMNH’s visitors and the preservation of E&O’s publicly accessible collection. The team implemented rankings by using color-coded labels, similar to the universal traffic stoplight system, to indicate whether the public can handle specimens directly (green), handle with assistance from a trained volunteer (yellow), or view only through barriers (red).","PeriodicalId":80959,"journal":{"name":"Collections : the newsletter of the Archives and Special Collections on Women in Medicine, the Medical College of Pennsylvania","volume":"45 1","pages":"159 - 172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86577717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples represent nearly all ages from the Neoproterozoic to the Neogene, though dominated by the Mesozoic. A large proportion of the samples were processed for palynomorphs.

The northernmost sites (above 75°N) are Ellesmere and Meighen Islands in Canada, Kap Kobenhavn in Greenland, and Faddeyevsky and Navaya Sibir’ Islands in Siberia. Collections from North America and Russia are housed in research institutions such as The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) in Ottawa, University of Alberta (UofA) in Edmonton, Paleontological Institute (PIN) in Moscow, and Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology in Yekaterinburg; collections from Greenland are housed in the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen.
