Collection Size: 150
Collection Importance: Regional
Comments: Only 50% of the collection is on view with the remaining cases turned to the wall. There appears little desire to display the material properly and no specialist staff or resources available from Sefton District Council to conserve the collection. The material has merit for its taxidermy and data. Recommend transfer to a Class A institution. Should Sefton request money for collection care, it is recommended this be refused until access, display and security are tackled.

Comments: Some stores are extremely damp and dusty. Collections are widely scattered and no longer used for teaching (except Geology), so their transfer is desirable. The college has withdrawn from NWMS and has not cooperated with a peripatetic scheme designed to care for the collections. They have indicated a desire to dispose of a large collection of mammal heads, but have failed repeatedly to respond to communication. They have already sold off a collection of birds.
