Division of Mammalogy: Mammals Database

The SNOMNH mammal collection consists of about 38,000 cataloged and about 5,000 uncataloged specimens. The collection recently completed a reorganization project involving inventory, specimen data verification and georeferencing. The entire collection of catalog specimens is available on the searchable computer database which is updated quarterly.
