Government Museum, Chennai which is well renowned for it's collections has ten different faculties. Among these the Botany section comprising of systematic and Economic Botany galleries is located in the second floor of the main building. This section has been conducting regular Special Exhibitions, Seminars, lectures and courses. Preservation of Botanical specimens, course, is conducted during the month of May every year. This year, there is something special about this course, as the students of Bharathi Women's College, North Chennai will be undergoing this training under U.GC. assistance, as a job oriented training, during the month of June.

My present Handbook on 'Preservation of Botanical Specimens', is only an initiative taken in teaching about the basic principles in the preservation of plants. Since this Handbook is released on the occasion of the Vocational Training Course, methods of modelling in clay, wax and plaster cast are also included in this.
