Library and Fieldnotes Archive...

The WFVZ houses more than 8,000 volumes of books and monographs on birds and natural history, and more than 400 bird and natural history journal serials. (see our Library Journal List.) The fieldnotes archive contains field notes, collecting logs, banding records, and unpublished manuscripts from more than 130 ornithologists, 9 institutions, and several large-scaled projects. (See the Collectors List.)
We are currently in the process of entering fieldnotes information into a computer database. Researchers with questions about the materials should contact us by email , phone (805/388-9944), or fax (805/388-8663).

We also publish our own journal series: Proceedings, Occasional Papers, and Monographs of the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology. See our Publication Program Information and Pricelist pages for more information.
