Department Library & Archives
The Mammalogy Departmental Library & Archives is a small but
extensive non-lending library devoted to the paper and film collections
of AMNH mammalogists and associated colleagues. The DLA is as old
as the Museum itself, founded in 1879. Its current housing was constructed
in 1891; we have worked hard to maintain much of its Victorian flavor.
Policy for Use of Archival Material
Archival material (field notes, correspondence, photographs) relating
to individuals, organization, or expeditions is available to researchers
at the discretion of the departmental Curator-in-charge.
Permission to Visit
Permission to visit the DLA is required in advance: contact Darrin Lunde at lunde@amnh.org

The DLA is located on the fifth floor in the AMNH's Department of
Mammalogy. Brief email, mail or telephone queries are answered to
the best of the staff's ability but users are encouraged to carry
out their own research. Black and white prints cannot be sent on

$25.00 an hour.
