The ARDRC is among the top 10 amphibian and reptile collections in the world with more than 200,000 specimens and rare texts from more than 90 countries. Open to scientists around the world, the center is frequently sought after by researchers for herpetological studies. Once a week, on average, a new peer-reviewed publication is released utilizing specimens from the ARDRC collection, including samples of many species that are now extinct. You can browse the ARDRC library on their website.
