For more than 140 years the library at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, now administered by the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, has served the museum and Harvard communities by providing a vast collection of natural history resources.

In Fall 2006, most print journal collections in the Biological Laboratories Library were relocated to the Ernst Mayr Library. Some journals were sent to the Cabot Science Library and the Library of the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department. Most journal subscriptions are now electronic only and managed by the Ernst Mayr Library. Books in the Biological Laboratories Library collection can be accessed by contacting Dorothy Barr , the liaison librarian for the Molecular and Cellular Biology Department, or theErnst Mayr Library. The Biological Laboratories Library website remains active.

The library is located on the second floor of the museum, at 26 Oxford St., Cambridge, Massachusetts (02138). (Directions). Our phone number is (617) 495-2475. For general information, please
