sezioni - please see context

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Science - Science (general) / natural sciences
Italian term or phrase: sezioni - please see context
context: description relating to a media library in a science museum specialising in the natural sciences

Does 'servizi' heremean something like 'surveys' or 'studies' ?

Raccoglie la documentazione fotografica delle campagne di raccolta di tutte le sezioni effettuate dal Museo sul territorio, nonché costituisce un fondo disponibile per la ricerca di immagini necessarie alla costante attività editoriale del Museo: è informatizzata per la quasi totalità del posseduto.


Thanks.

Explanation:
I am guessing that "sezioni" is a typo for "spedizioni."

Explanation:
Sono le "raccolte" che sono state "effettuate" and Italian natural history museums are divided into sections:

Hi Phil, I would agree with you but if you look at the link, you see that all the sections of a museum, is a very very standard phrase in Italian museum jargon. The search is on "tutte le sezioni del museo" in inverted commas, which gets 66 hits an extremely high figure for a five word string, compared for example with "high figure for a five word" which gets zero https://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q="high...

I clicked on five just as soon as I saw those results which cover many museums, not just one.

Quite apart from that "campagne ... effettuate" makes perfect sense in the context. Inventing a typo, makes little sense.

neutral  philgoddard: This is a possible answer, but it doesn't justify a 5 in my opinion. If it's the meaning, it should say something like "effetuate da tutte le sezioni del museo".
