Pomeranian University in Słupsk hosts two significant natural history collections, i.e. the Herbarium Slupensis (SLTC) botanical collection and the zoological collection, which contains mainly the arthropods. In the Herbarium both the historical and contemporary material is stored, including fungi, lichens, bryophytes and vascular plants that were collected mainly in the Polish Pomerania. The zoological collection contains predominantly the specimens of beetles and spiders, originating from Belarus and Poland (from Pomerania, but also from Masuria and Lower Silesia). In the two collections there are representatives of very valuable species. Both the Herbarium and the zoological collection are presently being digitised, supplemented with new specimens and developed. They present a significant contribution to knowledge on diversity of fauna and flora in the region and in Poland.
