In 2017, the museum opened the second Expedition Alaska show, one of an ongoing series of exhibits that highlights contemporary museum collections research. This show took a look at the work of the Mammals Collection and specifically, museum research into Hoary Marmots. Here, Link Olson, University of Alaska Fairbanks professor and Curator of the UAMN Mammals Collection talks about the research that led to that exhibit, ongoing research into marmot habitat, melanism, and predation, and how collecting practices have expanded and advanced over recent decades.
The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
