Established
in 1996, the University of California, Santa Cruz Museum of Natural
History Collections (MNHC) is dedicated to cultivating an increased
understanding of and appreciation for the natural world by promoting
the use of its natural science collections for teaching, research, and
aesthetics. The museum, part of the Environmental Studies Department,
is the main repository for natural science collections at UC Santa
Cruz. Collections include specimens of plants, fungi, insects, fishes,
amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The museum loans specimens
for use in teaching, research, and artwork to faculty, students, staff,
associates, and others. In addition, the museum maintains the
department’s field-equipment pool. Equipment such as measuring tapes,
thermometers, binoculars, and soil-sampling kits are loaned to students
and others working on class, internship, or independent study–related
field projects. You may learn more about collection and equipment loans
