This law covers items collected for the U.S. government. That includes rocks, minerals, soils, fossils, and objects of natural history, archaeology, or ethnology. It covers items gathered by the National Ocean Survey, the Geological Survey, or others collecting for the government. Once no ongoing investigation needs them, they must go to the National Museum.

This section says where certain scientific and historical collections end up once they are no longer being actively studied. It covers rocks, minerals, soils, fossils, and objects of natural history, archaeology, and ethnology. These items may have been collected by the National Ocean Survey, the United States Geological Survey, or by any other parties collecting them for the Government of the United States. Once these items are no longer needed for investigations that are still in progress, they must be deposited in the National Museum.
