University of Kentucky

GBIF publisher since

Description

The University of Kentucky Insect Collection is composed of two major collections. The primary UK collection had its beginning in 1889 under the newly formed Entomology Department’s chair, Harrison H Garmin. Charles Covelle of the University of Louisville facilitated donating their collection to UK; the transfer was completed in 2003. In 2010, the combined collection was moved into its current location in the Dimock building on the UK main campus. The collection is housed in compactors and consists of somewhere between ½ and 1 million pinned specimens in 1,868 drawers.
