The OSU Collection of Vertebrates is an active research collection, but we recognize the importance of public education and involvement in the larger Stillwater community.  OSU COV provides tours for OSU classes, public school groups, civic organizations, and visitors to the OSU campus.  Tours are arranged by appointment and allow visitors to see examples of Oklahoma animals and learn about research activities in the collections.  For more information about tours contact the Curator of Vertebrates at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
