| The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Bird Division is a collection of resources for people who conduct research on or need information about birds. The two Division curators and various graduate students conduct research on the phylogenetic relationships, evolution and behavior of a wide variety of birds using museum collections, molecular techniques, and captive and field studies. We actively maintain a collection of about 200,000 preserved specimens available for study by systematists and other scientists. We have a sound laboratory for analysis of bird vocalizations. Since 1930 the Bird Division has been the headquarters and provided space for the library of the Wilson Ornithological Society, an international organization devoted to the study of birds.
The Division houses the books and periodicals on birds that are part of theUniversity library system, as well as the collection owned by the Wilson Ornithological Society. Together these extensive collections form one of the largest ornithological libraries in North America. For over 80 years the Bird Division has been a major center for ornithological research and graduate studies. If you are interested in visiting the collection or library, please contact either of the curators or the collection manager.
