The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa occupies two major buildings, with one, the Museum Resource Centre, being the main collection repository. Te Papa holds an unusually wide variety of national treasures in natural history, art, history and Pacific, and Maori collections. The natural history collections include terrestrial, freshwater and marine taxa, the marine groups comprising algae, seabirds and mammals as well as fish and the majority of marine invertebrate phyla. Major portions of the collections are maintained separately in both wet and dry storage, employing a range of containers in a variety of cabinets, racks and shelving systems. Knowledge of collection maintenance has developed greatly over the last 25 years with optimum environmental factors well known and appropriate storage materials being adopted. Recently, other challenges to best storage practice have emerged including workplace health and safety regulations, more exacting freighting requirements and higher quality storage containers. Consequently, the management of collections has become more professional; technical assistance has increased, information and courses specialising in collection care have become available and Te Papa has employed preventive and materials conservators. Recent initiatives to improve the long term care of Te Papa's natural history collections include extensive testing and upgrading of liquid preservatives, wet storage facility renovations and adoption of Risk Assessment surveys of natural history collections.
