Earlham College (Joseph Moore Museum)

The Joseph Moore Museum will catalog, inventory, data enter, and improve research and educational access to the museum's mammal, ornithology, herpetology, and teaching collections. The museum will also make the collections available online through research portals, adding materials to existing international biodiversity databases for students, faculty, researchers, and community members. The database will include information from nearly 12,000 specimens—some information dating back to the 1870s—into a searchable research database. Through the ease of access to the research materials, the museum will encourage use of the collections for teaching and scholarly research.
