Spencer Entomological Collection

The Spencer Entomological Museum was formally established in 1953 from the holdings of Dr. G.J. Spencer, a professor in the UBC Zoology Department. Thanks largely to the efforts of Dr. Spencer and later Dr. G.G.E. Scudder, director from 1958-1999, the collection now houses over 600,000 specimens. Most holdings are from BC, the Yukon, and Alaska. The collection moved from the Zoology Department to its new home in the Beaty Biodiversity Museum in 2009.
