An award has been made to the California Academy of Sciences under the direction of Dr. John P. Dumbacher for the acquisition of new cabinets to store the bird and mammal collections of the natural history museum in San Francisco. Earthquake damage in the old building led to the construction of a new museum, with new research areas in which the cabinets will be located. The bird and mammal collections of Cal Academy contain important specimens of marine mammals and seabirds, many from the Galapagos Islands and many collected from the early 1900s. Scientists, students, and government agencies make heavy use of the specimens in the collection. The museum makes extensive exhibition and education outreach efforts that will be enhanced by protecting the specimens in new storage cabinets.

在约翰·P·邓巴赫博士的指导下，加州科学院获得了一个奖项，用于购买新的橱柜来存放旧金山弗朗西斯科自然历史博物馆的鸟类和哺乳动物藏品。 旧建筑的地震破坏导致了一座新博物馆的建设，新的研究区域将放置橱柜。 加州学院的鸟类和哺乳动物收藏品包含海洋哺乳动物和海鸟的重要标本，许多来自加拉帕戈斯群岛，许多收集自20世纪初。 科学家、学生和政府机构大量使用这些标本。 博物馆进行了广泛的展览和教育推广工作，将通过保护新储藏柜中的标本来加强。
