Importantly, it is the collection data (location, date, habitat information) that makes our collection so scientifically valuable. These collections are scientifically valuable as they represent Tasmania's mammals and birds through time (early 1800's to present) and across Tasmania and its offshore islands. The subsequent report states that QVMAG holds the largest and most comprehensive collections of Tasmanian native terrestrial mammals in Australia, and the most extensive collection of Tasmanian bird species in the world. The Australian Museum assessed the collection for its scientific significance, while a local historian looked at the collection's historical, social and cultural values. Earlier this year, QVMAG received funding from the National Library of Australia, through its Community Heritage Grants scheme, to understand the significance of our collection of animal skins, skeletons and mounts. The City of Launceston's Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery is celebrating part of its Natural Sciences collection being expertly dubbed the best of the best. QVMAG Natural Sciences research is regularly published, and information made available on the Atlas of Living Australia and Ozcam. Natural Sciences also provides information to government agencies, research workers, community groups and the general public on the taxonomy and ecology of Tasmania's fauna, flora and geology. These are mainly Tasmanian in origin, are actively used for research and exhibition. Natural Sciences is responsible for three collections zoology, geology and botany. The Natural Sciences department of QVMAG preserves a record of biodiversity for Northern Tasmania.
