<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The USDA had a Division of Ornithology and Mammalogy in the late 1800s that recorded bird observations at different stations (among other things). Has anyone seen any of these such records already digitized? We have a researcher interested
in historic bird observations who is considering transcribing our paper copies, but before he does that I figured I would make sure he isn’t re-doing work, since what we have in our archives are marked as copies of what the original observer mailed in to USDA
(in 1893…).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Much thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
