        <h2>Collections Unit</h2>
        <p>The Collections Unit is an organizational division that aims at comprehensive caretaking of the collections of The Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals. It is entrusted with annotating and conserving the collections, making them available to the community as well as procuring new specimens. Curators with many years of experience oversee the scientific collections. A scientific adviser employed by the Institute is assigned to each division of the collections. The advisers are usually experts on the particular group of animals they are overseeing.  The zoological and paleontological scientific collections are complemented by a separate exhibit collection with specimens used for permanent and temporary expositions.</p>
        <p>Requests to access the collections (borrowing or viewing specimens) should be made to the appropriate curators listed below or to the manager of the Collections Unit.</p>
