Joseph Moore Museum (JMM-JMMI)

The Joseph Moore Museum (JMM), established in 1887, evolved from the personal collecting of Earlham College’s second president. The JMM collection is currently estimated at more than 53,000 specimens in the combined Ornithology, Mammal, Invertebrate, Herpetology, Vertebrate Paleontology, and Anthropology Collections. JMM curates multiple preparation types including study skins, skeletal material, fluid preserved specimens, nests, eggs, taxidermy, tissues, and anthropological objects. A significant portion of the collection is from Indiana, however it has a broad geographic representation for teaching purposes.
