I seem to remember that it was sold off at auction, or at least some of it. I may be wrong.
Adam.

Thanks Adam, it would be interesting to know for certain and if so, when and where it was sold.

That is great Adam, thank you very much. I have passed on the information to the person who requested it.
Dunc deleted his account a while back, and then came back, only to delete again, together with his content. He is still a member I believe of Insectnet.

I couldn't get to the museum today because of the train problems, but it looks like you got your answer anyway.

According to the sale the Hemming collection was to be sold in one lot and not to be broken up, unless then the buyer cherry picked the best and sold off the rest, as it seems he may have, specimens appearing when dunc bought them. There was a hope that the main Palearctic collection went to a museum, as it appears to be historically valuable, a researcher wanted to gain access to the collection.

It was nice to find out that the Hemming collection, is intact in a private collection in the UK.
