Ohio State University Acarology Laboratory (OSAL-OSAL_Ar)
Fluid specimen collection of spiders (Araneae). Primarily the historical collection of the Ohio State University originally established by Dr. William Morton Barrows in the early 20th century. The majority of the specimens were collected in Ohio, but significant holdings from the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and northern Florida are also present. Many of the type specimens for species described by Barrows and his co-authors are housed here. Specimens collected during the Ohio Spider Survey (1994-2014) are included and make up the majority of the databased material.
