My house will be tented and fumigated for termite eradication.
Vikane (Sulfuryl Fluoride) and Chloropicrin will be applied for 3 days.
Does anyone know if these chemicals can damage dried insect collection
(Coleopera, Leps)?

No, neither vikane or chloropicrin will cause any damage to your dried inects, nor will they leave any dried deposit on them. These chemicals will remove any dermestids, psocids or other live arthropods in your collection. Both products are rather inert and have been in use for many years as funigants. So your collection is safe and will be in better shape after the fumigation - not sure I can say the same about your wallet after you pay for it.
