The North Museum's collection also include:

• Paleontology - more than 100,000 fossils including several type specimens.  Because of the efforts of Dr. John Price, former Museum Paleontologist and Dr. John Roddy, our collection includes one of the largest and most complete fossil collections of early Cambrian organisms in the world. The collection also includes Devonian and Carboniferous fossils and several type specimens, including the only Triassic fossil of a vertebrate found in Lancaster County, Sphodrosaurus.
• Herbarium - An extremely important collection, the North Museum botanical collection is the fourth largest in the state with over 22,000 specimens of plants, ferns, mosses and algae. Most of the collection is from Lancaster County and other parts of PA collected in during the 19th century. The 5,700 seed collection contains some of the earliest specimens dating from the early 1800's.
• Ethnographic collections with items from Native American tribes, Africa, Central and South American Pottery, and the Inuit.
• Entomology collection has approximately 16,000 specimens including early specimens from the Linnaean Society.  The oldest insect specimens in the North Museum collection date back to the mid-nineteenth century. Collections from Simon S. Rathvon, chairman of the Linnean Society's committee on Entomology, and Samuel S. Haldeman, who wrote research on the Coleoptera of Southeastern Pennsylvania in 1843, are among the historically significant collections housed at the Museum.
• Conchology collections
