Winston Churchill's collecting began as early as age 7, noted in a letter he wrote to his father talking about his toy soldiers, flags and castles. His love of the military led him to Sandhurst and a career in the military long before he became prime minister. Many of the regiments he served in are now available in toy soldier collections. He was particularly interested in the Napoleonic era reflected in the collection he amassed of over 1500 soldiers on display in the home of his birth, Blenheim Palace. Both a student of history and a writer of it, Winston Churchill saw his toy soldiers as the next best thing to being there.

There is some overlap between supplies used for both day and night collecting, therefore those supplies are included in the same list below. Supplies for collecting aquatic insects is given after the list of terrestrial insect collecting supplies. Following the collecting supply lists, a list of different types of traps used for the collection of insects is given. Some of the supplies are more basic than others, if not neccessary... the individual can best decide what is most useful to her or him. Not everything below is linked to a page, because it is fairly obvious what some of the supplies are for.

The terminology used to describe collecting patterns (solicits, collects, and accepts) represents different degrees of acquisition aggressiveness. The term " solicits" indicates that material relating to a topic is actively sought. The term " accepts" means that such materials will be added when offered, although there may be little or no deliberate effort to increase such holdings. The term " collects" falls somewhere in the middle; relevant collections are welcome without necessarily being part of an aggressive collecting program.
