'... the collection as a whole is an unprecedented and invaluable resource to any artist, scientist, historian, philosopher, or generally concerned citizen of the world. Truly, this is a subject that demands our attention - increasingly so as world powers, and economically driven opinions on the environment, shift as drastically as the Pacific plate.'
