Scientific fieldwork and expeditions are integral to advancing the research mission of the Yale Peabody Museum. Nine of the Peabody’s 11 curatorial divisions — Anthropology, Botany, Entomology, Invertebrate Paleontology, Invertebrate Zoology, Mineralogy, Paleobotany, Vertebrate Paleontology and Vertebrate Zoology — undertake collecting trips all across the globe. Peabody staff, curators and researchers work on every continent, in 54 countries, and in 49 states in the United States.
