The Sedgwick has a collection of around 2 million rocks, minerals and fossils, spanning a period of 4.5 billion years.
 They are an important international resource for research, learning and enjoyment.
 They are not yet all available to search online but information about the collections is available on a number of sites via the Museum's website.

The Mineral Collections contain 40,000 - 55,000 mineral specimens from across the world, and more than 400 meteorite specimens.
In most cases, a hand specimen of the rock is accompanied by a thin section.
  The strengths of the collection reflect current and historical research interests, and include Cornish and Cumbrian minerals and specimens from the Binntal of Switzerland.
Examples from this collection are on display in the Mineral Gallery 
The 'Beagle' Collection comprises approximately 2000 rocks and a few fossils collected by Charles Darwin during his voyage around the world on HMS Beagle between 1831-1836.

The Harker Collection of igneous and metamorphic rocks is named after leading petrologist Alfred Harker who spent many years organising and cataloguing the collection.

The Maurice Black Sedimentary Petrology Collection consists of around 32,000 rock specimens and petrological thin sections.

The Sedgwick Museum Archive Collection includes papers charting the history and development of the Museum, as well as the Sedgwick Club, the oldest student-run geological society in the world.
 The Archive also includes Adam Sedgwick's field notebooks, sketchbooks and specimen catalogues.

The A. G. Brighton Building is a purpose-built geological conservation laboratory and collections store in West Cambridge.
It was named for Albert George (known as Bertie or Peter) Brighton (1900-1988) who was the curator of the Sedgwick Museum from 1931, until his retirement in 1968.

The Palaeontological Collection contains over 1 million fossils from across the world.
