Ornithology accession records for the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado 1898-1900.

This bound volume, 9.5" x 11.75" x 0.38" contains ornithology accession records from the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado (SHNHSC) for the fiscal years November 30, 1898 to November 30, 1900. These were compiled by Will C. Ferril, Curator, the Society's first curator. This log was probably given to the then Colorado Museum of Natural History, now the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, when many of the SHNHSC's natural history collections were transferred to the Museum in 1929. The SHNHSC is now the Colorado Historical Society.
