Mammal Collections

The undergraduates in the mammal collections learn a variety of skills as they assist with curation and daily operations of our growing research collections. They help with preparing scientific specimens, labeling and organizing cataloged specimens, preparing loans, pest management, outreach, digitization, and other duties tailored to their interests.  If you are interesting in becoming a volunteer in the collections, please contact the Mammals Collections Manager Verity Mathis at vmathis@flmnh.ufl.edu
