[Jonathan Dunnum]

Hi Anna,

Attached is the most recent survey/directory of the mammal collections of the Western Hemisphere. You can tally the US collections through the directory at the end.  Hope this helps a bit. Best, Jon

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] natural history collections query

Hello all,

I'm an educator at the University of California Museum of Paleontology.  For a grant we are submitting, I'm trying to come up with an estimate of the number of natural history collections there are in the United States (a bonus would be estimating how many of these lack significant public spaces and are mainly for scientific use).

Any thoughts or rough estimates you have would be helpful.

Thanks!
