Abstract: Natural history collections in museums, arboreta, zoos, and educational institutions as well as private collections, represent a wealth of information regarding biodiversity at all levels. This project will seek to determine the location of voucher specimens of vertebrates collected from national park units in the Northern Great Plains Network. Voucher specimens located will be assessed for their proper identification, cataloging, and care. An electronic database of voucher specimens of vertebrates from the parks will be created and submitted to the National Park Service.
