Researchers desiring to consult the OS collections are welcome to visit. Please notify the curator in advance to make arrangements for your visit. Although we are open regular hours, advance notice allows us to ensure that working space and access to the desired collections will be available.

Because of the danger of introducing insect pests, we restrict entry of unprocessed plant material into the collections area. If you wish to bring such material for comparison with the collection, consult the curator about the proper procedure.

We are located in the Museum of Biological Diversity at 1315 Kinnear Road in Columbus. This is part of the West Campus of Ohio State University (map).

Our hours are Monday-Friday 8:00-5:00. Use of the collections at other times, after regular hours and on weekends, may be arranged by contacting the curator.
