Duke University (Duke Lemur Center)

The Duke Lemur Center at Duke University is responsible for the largest colony of lemurs outside of Madagascar-currently more than 250 animals representing 15 species. The Center also maintains a large collection of primate fossils, with more than 35,000 specimens related to primate evolution. The center's veterinary data, natural history specimens, 3D scans of holdings, and field documentation currently are spread across multiple online and offline databases. The goal of this project is to expand and connect those dispersed databases so that staff, researchers, and students can easily access data to investigate major trends in primate evolution and conservation.
