The members of the ELTE Heritage Coordination held their first meeting this year on 28 May 2025 at the Natural History Museum of the Faculty of Science.
The network, which was established in 2020, has the important task of managing and making visible the valuable cultural heritage owned by the university, and one of the aims of the meetings, which are held two or three times a year, is to get to know each other's collections and exchange professional ideas. The recent event gave the coordinators the opportunity to see the unique natural history collection and the inventory and processing work used there. After the technical discussion, the rich and unique collection of the Mineral Library was presented by Tamás Weiszburg, retired director, followed by Erzsébet Harman-Tóth, current director, who gave an overview of the history and current situation of the natural history collection. In the afternoon, Katalin Török Júlia and Tamás Hajdu guided a tour of the biological collection, and to round off a rich and informative day, Klára Felkerné Kóthay shared her experiences and good practices on the collection's inventory practices with the participants.
