Scope and Contents
Osborn championed the Society’s marine research and its need for a dedicated laboratory space sited at the New York Aquarium. When this building opened in 1967, it was named the Osborn Laboratories of Marine Sciences (OLMS) in his honor. This subseries largely concerns the building and construction of OLMS as well as its funding by government agencies and independent foundations. See this collection’s Correspondence series for additional records related to OLMS.
