[Nhcoll-l] Protozoa collection

[Collins, Allen]

We have such a collection under the name “Protozoa” in the collections at Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Department of Invertebrate Zoology). Most of the specimens in this collection are in the form of slides.

We have about 4,400 specimens in this collection, and some date back more than 100 years ago.
Cheers,
—Allen

Hi!

Is there any protozoa collections in natural history museums?
When those collections started to grow?
What are the methodology for preserving protozoa?

Best regards
