Resumo:
The Zoological Collections are composed of biological materials kept in good condition
from techniques contained in a collection. The curatorship of the zoological collections
is primarily the role of the curator who works with the intention of keeping the
patrimony preserved with specific care. Using this knowledge as a starting point,
knowing its importance and uses can generate incentives so that increasingly, the public
which makes use of it, interact with the care designed to keep this material in good
condition. Knowing the collection and how to preserve it, it's already a good start to
increase the duration of the said. The objective of this study was to collect data from the
Laboratory of Zoology of the campus of the UFCG / CES and to point out the methods
of conservation used in it. This is a descriptive research with presentation of qualitative
analyzes, developed at the Centro de Educação e Saúde (CES) of the Federal University
of Campina Grande (UFCG) with the collection contained in three laboratories of the
institution. With the results obtained it can be verified that the collections need more
visibility in the campus where the research occurred, so that their applications are taken
advantage of and their preservation maintained. It is concluded that further
dissemination of the CES‟s collection through work developed with it and awareness of
the public using it through educational practices in the referred university necessary.
