Hi all,
This fall Yale University's Peabody Museum of Natural History will begin the move of several collections to the Environmental Science Center. The ESC is a new facility for collection storage, teaching and research. The ESC replaces the former Bingham Laboratory and will be part of the Peabody Museum--Kline Geology Laboratory complex.
Access (i.e., loans, visits, data requests) to those collections slated for the new facility (see below) will be limited for the following year beginning October 15, 2001 and will resume at different dates depending on the respective collection. Following is a list of the collections moving to the ESC, their dates of inaccessibility (although these dates are subject to change) and collection managers or curators of those collections. Telephone and email addresses are available at www.peabody.yale.edu.
Botany (February 15, 2002 -- April 15, 2002), Michael Donoghue
Entomology (April 15, 2002 -- July 15, 2002), Raymond Pupedis
Invertebrate Paleontology (November 15 --June 15, 2002), Tim White
Invertebrate Zoology (October 15, 2001 -- April 15, 2002), Eric Lazo-Wasem
Paleobotany (October 15, 2001 - April 15, 2002), Linda Klise
Vertebrate Zoology (October 15, 2001 - May 15, 2002), Kristof Zyskowski
The Anthropology, Mineral, Meteorite and Vertebrate Paleontology collections will not be affected by this move and access will remain as usual.
