Our chemical cultural heritage The University of Melbourne Chemistry Collection

摘要

I did not even know that the School of Chemistry had a cultural heritage collection. So I was surprised when approached in November 2007 to conduct an audit of the Collection. Apparendy it was being returned to the University of Melbourne, after a considerable stay at Scienceworks, which is now part of Museum Victoria. The audit involved 2 days of unpacking items from cardboard boxes and checking diem against a spreadsheet inventory of the items. After delivering a report with various recommendations regarding the condition of die collection, I heard nothing more, until July 2008.
