Summary:

The composition and structure of scientific collections in the National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine, as well as their classification, purpose and objectives are examined in the paper. Basic selection criteria for museum objects are defined along with principles, forms and methods of collections’ formation and roadmap for acquisition. The processes of classification and systematization of natural exhibits are analyzed, and implementation of scientific management is discussed. Classification of natural heritage objects provides an integrated approach for conservation and sustainable use. Some theoretical generalizations, which can be used for conscious and purposeful formation of museum collection, are presented. Nature history collections are extremely important to research the developmental stages and formation of ecosystems during the geological past. The necessity of improving the system of collection registration and storage, and the need to study the history of their creation are underlined.

Keywords:

principles of classification, scientific collection, systematization, the National Museum of Natural History, NAS Ukraine.
