The South Florida Collections Management Center is a multi-park museum program for Biscayne National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, De Soto National Memorial and Dry Tortugas and Everglades National Parks. The center coordinates the acquisition and preservation of museum collections, which support research and interpretive needs. Although located inside Everglades National Park, the center provides long-term museum planning for all five National Park Service units in south Florida.
