	Natural history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 18th century and well into the 19th century, natural history as a term was frequently used to refer to all scientific studies, as opposed to political or ecclesiastical history.
		The term "natural history" alone, or sometimes together with archaeology, forms the name of many national, regional and local natural history societies that maintain records for birds (ornithology), mammals, insects (entomology) and plants (botany).
		The growth of natural history societies was also spurred due to the growth of British colonies in tropical regions with numerous new species to be discovered.

	Dr. Sues comes to Carnegie Museum of Natural History
		The American Museum of Natural History is the only major museum to recently renovate its dinosaur exhibits, Sues said, so the Carnegie could leap to the forefront when the expansion is complete.
		Where once the expertise of the museum's paleontologists was focused heavily on mammalian evolution since the age of dinosaurs, the addition of a true dinosaur paleontologist continues a shift in expertise to earlier eras.
		Though the Carnegie Museum has recently faced budget shortfalls and layoffs, Sues said that is a problem common to most museums today and that he is optimistic about its future.

	Systematic Research Collections: Mollusca
		Centered on the lifetime collection of one of the Museum's founders, Junius Henderson, it is the 14th largest collection of mollusks in the United States and perhaps the fourth largest in a university museum.
		The subsequent history of the collection is largely a history of numerous expeditions and field trips in the Pacific, and of the acquisition of more than 30 major private collections, containing predominantly Pacific material.
		When the National Museum became the museum of archaeology, ethnology and history in 1972, the reference specimens together with the zoology books of the museum were transferred to the National University of Singapore (then University of Singapore).
