ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

This link may have been shared in the past, I'm not sure. I am currently in Buffalo, NY for Camp Inquiry and found out Science Kit & Boreal Laboratories is located here. I visited today and was amazed at their product list. They also provide access to the National Standards and discuss how their products fit with those standards. They tailor themselves mostly to classrooms but there is much that is relevant to museum work and other "informal" education. I plan to use a lot of their material at camp.

This is the US branch. They also have a Canadian one: http://www.boreal.com and I thought I saw an "international" link for other countries but I can't find it now.
The material on evolution is especially impressive. Astronomy, too.
