The Yale Peabody Museum encourages the use of its collections for research, publication, exhibition, education and other purposes.

Please bear in mind that electronic collections data are only proxies for the actual specimens and artifacts, and although these are checked regularly for discrepancies, no guarantee of accuracy is extended here.
