From the Vault:

Nearly 90 years later, and we're still learning about the Museum's history! This is David Bigelow. While he would become the Museum's Curator of Education in 1963, in 1937, he was busy sorting butterfly specimens at the Museum's "School in the Forest" down in Allegany State Park. Nowadays, you can see how butterflies and other insects form an important part of our ecosystem in our "Bug Works" exhibit at the Museum!🦋🐝

Our collections team recently preserved and processed this historic photo in partnership with Chicago Albumen Works, with funding from an Access and Innovation Grant awarded to the Museum by the Western New York Library Resources Council - WNYLRC.
