Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

This past summer (2017), the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM) became the newest member of the Fossil Insect Collaborative thanks to funding from the National Science Foundation’s Advancing the Digitization of Biological Collections Partner to an Existing Network program (PEN). Among the collections to be digitized are their world-renown collections of fossil insects from the Rancho La Brea tar pits in downtown Los Angeles, California.
