Zoological Collection:
Most of the specimens are on display in the showcases in the corridor of the Zoology Department, which can be visited by students and the general public. The rest of the duplicate specimens or specimens susceptible to restoration are in a space dedicated to heritage collections in the V Centenary Building of the University of Granada.
On an ongoing basis, through teaching innovation projects and the support of the Department of Zoology, the needs for improvement, conservation and visibility of the collection are attended to.
This collection has provided content for the Virtual Museum of the CCZ-UGR website as a support for learning zoology subjects in the different degrees in which the department is involved.
In 2023, the 'Catalog of the Historical-Didactic Collection of the Department of Zoology: A Natural History' was published by Moleón, M. (Coord.). It is available in PDF format for download and viewing by clicking HERE.
This publication was funded by the Program of Innovation and Good Teaching Practices at the University of Granada (UGR) as part of the project "The Historical-Didactic Collection of the Department of Zoology: An Inclusive Resource" (ref.: 22-179). It compiles the contents of the display cases, with a particular focus on the species included in them, highlighting the "featured species"" of each case, as well as classic Spanish researchers and naturalists from various groups and specialized Spanish scientific societies and their publications.
