USNM Curators Annual Reports: Department of Marine Invertebrates, Reports 1891-1892

About the Project

The Smithsonian Institution is an American museum complex—but not only did our founding donation come from an Englishman who never set foot in North America, many of the items that now make up our national collections were donated from abroad by colleagues of Smithsonian employees. Richard Rathbun's annual and monthly reports make note of those specimens received by the Department of Marine Invertebrates from locations across the globe, including the British Museum and private collectors throughout England. Join your fellow volunpeers in gaining additional insight into the US National Museum as we approach the turn of the twentieth century!
