In the Collection

The Natural History Society of Maryland has many unique natural history collections including mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, shells, insects, plants, fossils, minerals, and artifacts. Below are some of the stories proferred from these hidden treasures. We will continue to post new information and stories on these valuable collections as we reveal the secrets hidden in the specimens, tags, and notebooks filling the shelves and cabinets of our collection rooms.
