<p class="MsoNormal">As with many other museums, the Delaware Museum of Natural History is closed to visitors and staff are working from home. We cannot process loan requests, receive loan returns, or host visitors until at least mid-May. Data requests that
require access to the collections cannot be fulfilled until staff are back at the museum. We do have remote access to our databases and can provide some assistance with other data requests.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our databases can be accessed through GBIF, Vertnet, iDigBio, and Symbiota/InvertEbase.
