2005-2005 Research Summary
Research and curatorial activities at the Florida Museum saw another year of vigorous growth during 2005-06.
Dickinson Hall, which is no longer open to the public, is where most of the
Museum's 24 million objects are housed along with the associated field notes, photographs, databases and libraries
that enhance their irreplaceable scientific value. The Museum brought in more than $3.1 million in new and continuing
multi-year grants to support research, collections curation and education. Museum research focuses on studies of DNA,
anatomy, ecology and behavior and the evolution of plants, animals and human cultures. While the Museum's primary
geographic strengths are in Florida, the Southeastern United States, and the Caribbean, the collections and research
programs span the globe. Many of the collections of plants, animals, fossils and artifacts rank among the top 10 in the
United States.
