The Natural Science Collections Alliance is a Washington, D.C.–based non-profit organization supporting natural science museums, botanical gardens, universities and other institutions that maintain natural science collections.

The alliance produces publications on natural science collections and their use in scientific study.

Recent publications include one on the importance of bees to the ecosystem overall.

This serves as a forum for discussions about best practices, government funding and regulation, and collection management.
