• Private persons, governmental and communal organisations: Short questions; hints on further reading; identifications of single animals.

(Begin by asking the "Museum biologist in charge", who will direct you to the appropriate person).
• Scientists: Loans, search for specimens, types, occasionally also literature (photocopies), information about other Swedish natural history collections and invertebrate researchers. Occasionally, photo or histological services.
• Educational purposes: Loan of specimens.
• Swedish Museums:The Swedish Museum of Natural History has the status of "Ansvarsmuseum", meaning that it has some scanty resources from the government to assist other Swedish museums with natural history collections, with advice on storage, non-commercial value, use, and other aspects. We are always prepared to assist.
