An award has been made to the University of Iowa under the direction of Dr. Ann F. Budd to computerize the University of Iowa Paleontology Repository, a collection of over one million fossil specimens. The collection includes invertebrate, vertebrate and plant fossils from all geological ages, with especially rich collections of marine invertebrates from the Paleozoic. Many of the specimens were new to science at the time of discovery. The database work will capture data from the specimens and make the information and images of some specimens available through an online, searchable web site. Undergraduate and graduate students, and museum interns, will work on the project and receive training in museum curation and database methods. The images produced in the project will be valuable to teachers and amateur paleontologists.

爱荷华州大学在安·F博士的指导下获得了一个奖项。巴德正在计算爱荷华州大学的古生物学知识库，那里有超过一百万个化石标本。 收藏包括所有地质时代的无脊椎动物，脊椎动物和植物化石，特别是古生代的海洋无脊椎动物。 许多标本在发现时对科学来说是新的。 数据库工作将从标本中获取数据，并通过一个可搜索的在线网站提供一些标本的信息和图像。 本科生和研究生以及博物馆实习生将参与该项目，并接受博物馆策展和数据库方法的培训。 该项目中产生的图像对教师和业余古生物学家将是有价值的。
