Environmental Improvements for the Oklahoma Collection of Genetic Resources of the Sam Noble Museum, University of Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Collection of Genetic Resources (OCGR) of the Sam Noble Museum, University of Oklahoma was established in late 2006 and contains currently more than 36,000 vials of tissue from individuals representing 38 orders, 144 families, 394 genera, and 666 species of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. It includes tissues from 23 type specimens and >100 rare and endangered species. The collection is significant for its large collections of tissue samples of mammals from Argentina, vertebrates (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds) from Oklahoma, mammals from Tennessee, and amphibians from Arkansas. The OCGR is publicly accessible via the SNM website and data portals (iDigBio, VertNet, GBIF).
Beginning 1 October 2015, the OCGR will transition from electricity dependent, mechanical, ultra-cold freezer storage to a liquid nitrogen storage system. The conversion to a liquid nitrogen storage system will improve the stewardship of the OCGR, prevent catastrophic loss due to power disruptions in a disaster prone region (e.g., tornados and earthquakes); provide long-term conservation and preservation of samples that will ensure their integrity for current and future research; and provide increased capacity for growth of the collection.
During the entire two-year project, the collection will remain open—new acquisitions will be cataloged and installed, staff will respond to requests for information, and loans of tissue subsamples will be provided.
This project is made possible by a grant from the Museums for America program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (MA-30-15-0381-15).
