Lost Collections: Preserving Historical Biodiversity Memory—The Case of Peiroleri’s Manuscript Catalogue
2023
Fulvio Giachino
The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of historical research on entomological collections in museums and to suggest some techniques to investigate them. Through documentary research and analysis, it is possible to obtain data on poorly known entomologists and collections: this may be extremely important for the study of past and present-day biodiversity. The finding and study of Peiroleri&rsquo:s catalogue proves that, through meticulous historical research, it is possible to locate type specimens even if the original collection is supposedly or virtually lost.
