Specimen Loans

Specimen loans are available to qualified researchers. Loans are generally made for a period of two years, renewable upon request. Primary types are generally loaned for a period of three months from the date received by the borrower and are non-renewable. Holotypes, allotypes, and a major portion of the type series of each species described based on INHS specimens must be returned. To request a loan or data, please contact Kevin P. Johnson, Ph.D.

Limited data for the entire collection holdings are accessible via the INHS Collections Database. For complete locality data, please contact the Ornithology Curator, Kevin P. Johnson, Ph.D.
