Council of Heads of Australian Entomological Collections

The Council of Heads of Australian Entomological Collections (CHAEC, http://flyaqis.museum.vic.gov.au/chaec/) represents Australian entomological collections and is making data from these collections available through the Atlas of Living Australia.

Contribution to the ALA

CHAEC members manage the major museum collections in state museums, and collections from a wide range of agencies and institutions working in forestry, agriculture and biosecurity. These collections are an important source of information on native and introduced Australian insects.
