University of Louisiana at Monroe's (ULM) Ichthyology Collection Database

In spring of 2017, administrators at the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM, historically NLU – Northeastern Louisiana University) made the decision to get rid of their natural history collections, including their large fish collection of 74,441 specimen jars that represents the life’s work of Dr. Neil Douglas, author of Fishes of Louisiana (1974), and other ULM biologists. Those specimens were divided and deposited in other regional collections including the University of Texas' Biodiversity Collections. The Microsoft Access files provided here, together, are their collection catalog and provided as they were received. The files document when and where the specimens were collected and who collected them.
