通过应用态度调查问卷，本研究探讨了专家利益相关者对地质藏品的价值观。使用探索性因素分析确定了六个价值： 个人/灵感独特性 原创性/历史教育/未来美学/商业信息 除美学/商业之外的所有价值都严重依赖于与标本相关的“背景信息”，但不直接包含在标本中（例如标本的采集地点、采集者和时间、存储对象、注释和标签），表明该对象是由标本及其背景信息组成的。对这些价值观一致趋势的分析表明，与地质行业或公司的工作人员相比，博物馆/遗产和学术专业人士往往更加关注背景信息。研究结果应用于使用自然历史博物馆（伦敦）的拉塞尔收藏进行的案例研究，其中进行了随机收藏调查。研究表明，除了标本本身之外，确保有助于个人/灵感、原创性/历史和独特价值的相关背景信息作为藏品的一部分得到保存也同样重要。
Through application of an attitude questionnaire this research explored expert stakeholders' values associated with geological collections. Six values were identified using exploratory factor analysis: Personal/Inspirational Uniqueness Originality/Historic Educational/Future Aesthetic/Commercial Information All values except Aesthetic/Commercial heavily rely on 'contextual information' associated with a specimen, but not directly contained within the specimen (such as where the specimen was collected, by whom and when, storage objects, notes and labels), indicating the object is formed of the specimen and its contextual information. An analysis of trends of agreement with these values showed that museum/heritage and academic professionals tended to strongly focus on contextual information in comparison to those working in a geological industry or company. The findings were applied to a case study using the Russell Collection at the Natural History Museum (London), where a randomised collection survey was carried out. The research indicates that along with the specimens themselves, it is just as important to ensure that associated contextual information contributing to Personal/Inspirational, Originality/Historical and Uniqueness Values are preserved as part of the collection.
