The Essig Museum of Entomology at the University of California Berkeley is a major repository of insect and other terrestrial arthropod specimens from the New World, especially California and adjacent regions in western North America. It has had a long-term research focus on the eastern Pacific Rim and Pacific Islands. It is one of the largest university entomological museums in the country and has served a critical role in the training of systematists over the last century.The current project will upgrade and move the Essig Museum collection into new space in the Vertebrate Life Sciences Building. This will allow the consolidation of the natural history museums on campus, providing better integration of technical support, outreach, and administration as well as scientific research and training. The new space will allow for several decades of expansion of the Essig collections.

位于加州伯克利大学的埃西格昆虫学博物馆是一个主要的昆虫和其他陆生节肢动物标本库，这些标本来自新大陆，特别是加州和北美西部的邻近地区。 它长期专注于东太平洋沿岸和太平洋岛屿的研究。 它是该国最大的大学昆虫学博物馆之一，在过去的世纪里，它在系统分类学家的培训中发挥了关键作用。目前的项目将升级并将埃西格博物馆的藏品搬到脊椎动物生命科学大楼的新空间。 这将使校园内的自然历史博物馆得到巩固，提供更好的技术支持，推广和管理以及科学研究和培训的整合。 新的空间将允许数十年的扩展Essig收藏。
