Geology and the Local Museum

This book is written for the many non-specialists who find themselves in charge of a geological collection, and aims to show how to look after it and how to use it and where to get help and advice. Each step in the creation and maintenance of a good display is discussed and explained - including documentation, storage, conservation, security, display techniques and education. The book also includes information on more unusual ways of bringing local geology to life, such as guided walks.
