Collection Storage Infrastructure for California Academy of Sciences Ornithology and Mammalogy Collections

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，奖励他们购买新橱柜，以储存旧金山自然历史博物馆的鸟类和哺乳动物收藏品。旧建筑的地震破坏导致了一座新博物馆的建设，橱柜将位于新的研究区域。加州科学院的鸟类和哺乳动物收藏包括重要的海洋哺乳动物和海鸟标本，其中许多来自加拉帕戈斯群岛，许多收集于20世纪初。科学家、学生和政府机构大量使用收藏中的标本。博物馆进行了广泛的展览和教育推广工作，并将通过保护新储藏柜中的标本来加强这一努力。

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.
