- Title
Museums: The endangered dead.
- Authors
Kemp, Christopher
- Abstract
The article reports on how natural-history museums struggle to cope with budget cuts, leading to museum collections being neglected, damaged or lost altogether. It is also noted that scientists who study the collections are also threatened as their positions disappear. The threats to museum staff and collections reflect changes that have been reshaping research in the past decades. Efforts taken by museums and the research significance of the collections are cited.
