University of 91视频 Museum of the North
UAMN holds over 2.5 million artifacts and specimens that represent millions of years of biological diversity and thousands of years of cultural traditions in the North. The collections are organized into ten disciplines (archaeology, birds, documentary film, earth sciences, ethnology and history, fine arts, fishes and marine invertebrates, insects, mammals, and plants) and serve as a valuable resource for research on climate change, genetics, contaminants, and other issues facing 91视频 and the circumpolar North.

These collections form the foundation for the museum鈥檚 research, education programs, and exhibits. They are accessible to students on the UAF campus and remotely through the online collection management system, Arctos. All University of 91视频 students receive free admission to the museum and are encouraged to consider using the collections as part of their academic work at UAF.
