辛辛那提博物馆中心(CMC)最近收购了明尼苏达大学(UM)地球科学系的古生物学藏品。明尼苏达大学(UM)古生物学收藏是一个无与伦比的区域资源,由于可访问性差和缺乏机构支持而未得到充分利用。重要的类型材料,研究标本和区域数据在缺乏策展维护和储存条件不足的情况下正在恶化。明尼苏达大学认识到,这一丰富的研究资源需要适当的照顾,研究的可访问性和数据传播,使它接近辛辛那提博物馆中心的援助。基于两个机构的共同目标,密歇根大学古生物学收藏最终于2018年12月移交给中央军事委员会并加入。1872年,明尼苏达州立法机构授权明尼苏达大学启动明尼苏达州地质和自然历史调查并建立一个博物馆(Winchell,1889年,第6页; Rice,1990年)。收藏品迅速增长,1890年,博物馆被分成三个部门(地质/古生物学,动物学和植物学),只有地质和古生物学收藏品留在明尼苏达大学明尼阿波利斯校区的皮尔斯伯里大厅。在20世纪90年代,大部分藏品被转移到(前)贝尔自然历史博物馆大楼的地下室,也在明尼阿波利斯校园,一小部分藏品留在皮尔斯伯里大厅,主要用于教学(赖斯,1990)。
Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) recently acquired the paleontology collections of the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Minnesota (UM). The University of Minnesota (UM) paleontology collection is an unparalleled regional resource that was underutilized due to poor accessibility and a lack of institutional support. Significant type material, research specimens, and regional data were deteriorating under the absence of curatorial maintenance and inadequate storage conditions. Recognition by the University of Minnesota that this rich research resource needed proper care, research accessibility, and data dissemination caused it to approach Cincinnati Museum Center for assistance. Based on the shared goals of both institutions, the UM paleontology collection was ultimately deeded to, removed to, and accessioned by CMC in December, 2018.In 1872, the Minnesota Legislature authorized the University of Minnesota to start the Geological and Natural History Survey of Minnesota and establish a museum (Winchell, 1889, p. 6; Rice, 1990). The collections grew rapidly and in 1890, the museum was separated into three divisions (geological/paleontological, zoological, and botanical), with only the geological and paleontological collection remaining housed in Pillsbury Hall on the University of Minnesota, s Minneapolis campus. In the 1990s, the majority of the collection was moved to the basement of the (former) Bell Museum of Natural History building, also on the Minneapolis campus, with a small portion of the collection remaining in Pillsbury Hall, primarily for teaching (Rice, 1990).
