They are an irreplaceable resource for understanding the past, reflecting on the present and looking into the future.</p> <p>Research here adds to understanding of critical contemporary issues in science, the environment and society. Many of our researchers are world experts in their fields. Collaborative projects with universities, communities, government agencies and international institutions expand the museum's activities far beyond the walls of our buildings.</p> <h2>History of the Collections</h2> <p>Research and collecting commenced with the establishment of the National Museum of Victoria in 1854, which had a primary focus on natural sciences. In addition to researching and collecting Victorian and Australian animals, rocks, minerals and fossils, the first Directors also acquired significant international collections and established important international research networks.</p> <p>From the late 19th century the museum began to actively research Australian Aboriginal people and cultures and to develop a significant collection of associated artefacts.</p> <p>In 1870, the Industrial and Technological Museum (subsequently the Science Museum of Victoria) was established to research, collect and display important scientific and technological advances.</p> <p>When the two institutions amalgamated in 1983, social history was added as a further research and collecting focus.</p> <p>Currently, Museums Victoria holds a collection of an estimated 15 million items, held in high-quality storage facilities at Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks and a specialised storage facility. Collection managers, conservators and curators research, document and preserve the collections for present and future generations.</p> </div> <div class="collections"> <h2>Collections</h2> <div class="collections"> <h3>Geology</h3> <div class="collectiontile"> <a href="/collections/14166"> <img src="/content/media/45/814795-thumbnail.jpg" alt="Mineralogy"/> <span class="title"> <span class="heading">Mineralogy</span> <span class="description">The mineral collection contains 52,100 specimens representing some 2600 species, or approximately 60 per cent of known ...</span> </span> </a> </div> <div class="collectiontile"> <a href="/collections/14169"> <img src="/content/media/45/814845-thumbnail.jpg" alt="Rocks and Ores"/> <span class="title"> <span class="heading">Rocks and Ores</span> <span class="description">The Rocks and Ores Collection began in the 1850s with material collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria that was ...</span> </span> </a> </div> <div class="collectiontile"> <a href="/collections/14164"> <img src="/content/media/29/814579-thumbnail.jpg" alt="Meteorites and Tektites/Impactites"/> <span class="title"> <span class="heading">Meteorites and Tektites/Impactites</span> <span class="description">The Meteorite Collection began in 1857 with the purchase by Frederick McCoy, the Museum's first director, of the first ...</span> </span> </a> </div> <h3>Historical Studies</h3> <div class="collectiontile"> <a href="/collections/14121"> <img src="/content/media/39/296689-thumbnail.jpg" alt="Leisure"/> <span class="title"> <span class="heading">Leisure</span> <span class="description">The Leisure Collection comprises objects, images, documents, sound recordings and intangible representations related to ...</span> </span> </a> </div> <div class="collectiontile"> <a href="/collections/14122"> <img src="/content/media/20/278920-thumbnail.jpg" alt="Migration & Cultural Diversity"/> <span class="title"> <span class="heading">Migration & Cultural Diversity</span> <span class="description">The Migration and Cultural Diversity Collection documents and interprets the migration and settlement experiences of ...</span> </span> </a> </div> <div class="collectiontile"> <a href="/collections/13705"> <img src="/content/media/49/501749-thumbnail.jpg" alt="Social Spaces Youth"/> <span class="title"> <span class="heading">Social Spaces Youth</span> <span class="description">This is a new collection which aims to document life in the 'social spaces' of Victoria.
