The basis of the zoological collections of the QVMAG was formed from the Launceston Mechanics' Institute, which opened in 1842. Many exotic species, mainly mounted specimens, were acquired during the early years as a result of exchanges with other museums around the world. Dr RH Green, Curator of Zoology 1961-90 was responsible for significantly increasing the size of the Tasmanian mammal and bird research collections including the range of species represented.
Significant holdings
* Extensive collection of study skins of Tasmanian birds, nearly all species represented.
* Extensive collection of skeletal material, mostly Tasmanian and Australian mainland species.
* T Singline and H Leonard egg collection (2500 clutches, mostly collected from the Australian mainland).
* 300 Canadian bird study skins
* 64 South American and West Indian Humming Birds collected by John Gould.
