For instance, Masataka Sato, a Japanese professor known around the world for his study of beetles, donated 124,300 insect fossils to the museum. And professor Yang Hung-yi of National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan gave many thousands of rock samples to the museum before he retired. These included a large collection of samples he had gathered on successive trips to the northern reaches of the Tibetan Plateau in China.
例如享譽國際的日籍教授、鞘翅目研究權威佐藤正孝，捐贈了 12 萬 4,300 件昆蟲標本；國內知名岩石學家、成功大學地球科學系楊宏儀教授，退休前也捐贈了研究用的岩礦標本數千件，包括他多次前往中國青康藏高原北原進行地質研究時所蒐集的大批岩礦。
