Part of the Natural History Museum is the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity.
It carries out important work.
From the description:
One of the centre's key roles is to support the individuals, schemes and societies that record, monitor and protect the UK's biodiversity.What you can do in the centre:
- get help identifying specimens you've found with the centre's Identification and Advisory Service
- make use of our visitor space which includes microscopes and photo-stacking equipment for photographing specimens
- access our UK biodiversity reference collections of specimens and the London Natural History Society's library
- if you're a member of a natural history organisation, you can book our workshop space and meeting rooms
