Yale University (Peabody Museum of Natural History)

The Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University will conserve and rehouse approximately 7,600 specimens in the Vertebrate Paleontology Fossil Fish collection. These specimens are presently housed in substandard conditions, including the acidic boxes and packing materials in which they were collected more than 100 years ago. All specimens will be conserved and rehoused to the highest conservation standards and digitally photographed, bringing the museum one step closer to achieving its overarching goal of making every specimen within the Vertebrate Paleontology Collections instantly available for study.
