Specify 7 is a web implementation of Specify’s biological collections data management platform. The LSAM recently moved our databased specimens from Specify6 to the Specify7 cloud based platform.
Approximately 200,000 of the 1 million specimens housed in the LSAM collection are searchable online. We are always adding new records to the database and updating recent determinations so please be aware all relevant data may not be represented. Therefore, we encourage you to contact the curator directly for specimen information. Curator: Victoria Bayless
