Description
The Invertebates Old Collection Before 1987 contains collection specimens that were donated by the Foundation Surinaams Museum. This museum is now specifically focussed on culture and art. These specimens were collected all over Suriname between 1900 and 1987. The dataset also includes few specimens from South and Central American countries. Some of the main collectors were v. Doesburg, D. Geyskes, H. Heyde and P.J. Hummelen.
