Not provided

The University's natural history collection, established in1862, has grown

from teaching tools to a vital part of Philippine history. Its importance stems

from its historical significance and unique species, some of which represent

extinct or endangered species. The collection has also contributed to the

description of new species. Fr. Casto de Elera, O.P., the museum's first

director, played a crucial role, notably publishing the Catalogo Sistematico de

toda la Faunade Filipinas(1895-96), which brought international recognition

to the collection. His work provided comprehensive species data, making a

pioneering effort in cataloging Philippine fauna. The University of Santo

Tomas–Herpetological Research continues. de Elera's

legacy by modernizing the database and reorganizing the collection.
