This collection contains over 100,000 specimens, mostly from Alaska and adjacent regions of Canada and Russia. There are world-class holdings of northern carnivores, including pinnipeds, and extensive chronological series of carnivores, shrews, and cricetid rodents. Tissues for more than 70,000 specimens are archived in Genetic Resources.
We are in the process of updating our web page and adding links to loan and use policies. Until then, please contact the Curator or Collection Manager via e-mail to inquire about visiting the collection or requesting a loan. The mammal collection database can be searched here.
