We argue that scientific collections provide unique primary sources for research in history of science and that they often contain information about scientific practice that is not accessible through written sources. Unfortunately, the potential of scientific collections in history of science often remains untapped due to institutional factors such as limited documentation, visibility, and funding of collections. We discuss the documentation of university collections in Germany as a positive model to meet these challenges. El objetivo de este artículo es discutir el potencial de las colecciones científicas como archivos de la práctica científica. Sostenemos que las colecciones científicas proveen de fuentes primarias únicas para la investigación en la h istoria de la ciencia y que habitualmente contienen información acerca de la práctica científica que no es accesible a través de fuentes escritas. Desafortunadamente, el potencial de las colecciones científicas para la historia de la ciencia a menudo permanece sin explotar debido a factores institucionales como la documentación limitada, la visibilidad y la financiación de las colecciones. Se considera a la documentación de las colecciones universitarias en Alemania como un modelo positivo para enfrentar estos desafíos. Centro de Estudios Históricos “Prof. Carlos S. A.
