A grant has been awarded to the University of Puget Sound under the direction of Dr. Peter H. Wimberger to improve facilities for the Slater Museum vertebrate collections. Funding will be used to acquire new cabinets and archival trays to replace outmoded wooden cases and trays used to store the mammal and bird collections. The new storage equipment will protect the collections from degradation from insects that can infest and damage mammal and bird specimens. The Slater Museum contains many vertebrate specimens from the Pacific Northwest, in particular from Puget Sound, an area heavily impacted by development. The museum is part of a liberal arts college that uses them in many classes and for student research. Undergraduate students will work on the project and be trained in museum management. The new cabinets and trays will be housed in a newly renovated facility with greater public exposure through collection tours.

一笔赠款已授予普吉湾大学的指导下，博士彼得H。温伯格改善斯莱特博物馆脊椎动物收藏的设施。 资金将用于购买新的橱柜和档案托盘，以取代过时的木箱和托盘用于存储哺乳动物和鸟类的收藏。 新的储存设备将保护藏品免受昆虫的破坏，这些昆虫可能会感染和破坏哺乳动物和鸟类标本。 斯莱特博物馆收藏了许多来自太平洋西北部的脊椎动物标本，特别是来自普吉特海湾的标本，普吉特海湾是一个受开发影响严重的地区。 该博物馆是一所文理学院的一部分，该学院在许多课程中使用它们并用于学生研究。 本科生将参与该项目，并接受博物馆管理方面的培训。 新的橱柜和托盘将被安置在一个新装修的设施，通过收集图尔斯更大的公众曝光。
