C L O S E D The Spencer Entomological Museum, located at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada is currently closed (and has been since Jan. 1993) due to budget constraints. It is maintained by a volunteer staff of up to 4 students per year, plus the Director (Dr. G. Scudder) and the Curator (K.M. Needham). The museum serves mostly as an academic resource for entomologists at the university, and from other universities. The museum has made loans to scientists around the world who are studying B.C. fauna, and also has visits from 5 to 10 research scientists per year. When funded, parts of the collection are also used as a teaching resource for outreach programs to schools, and in the past, to Science World. It is mostly this material which we hope to reproduce here on the web. More about the Museum ... Take a tour of the Museum ... [HOME]
