Call for Specimens

The Hefner Zoology Museum acts as a clearinghouse for specimens and objects native to Southwest Ohio. All collections receive regular curatorial care, as set forth in museum policy.

In keeping with current museum policy, we do not kill animals solely for the purpose of collecting and displaying them; we will acquire new specimens only when animals die by natural causes or through an accident. We accept donations of established collections, amassed by scientists or other collectors, which are in keeping with the mission of the museum.

Anyone wishing to donate a specimen should contact the museum director:

Dr. Donald Kaufman
