Welcome to Our Museum Portal
Notice to Researchers: Portions of the South Florida Collections Management Center collections storage will undergo renovations throughout 2025. As a result, the Records of the Everglades National Park Science Program (EVER 42242) will be closed to researcher access. This collections closure will only impact the aforementioned collection. The SFCMC staff continues to welcome inquiries through the CONTACT US form link at the bottom of this page.
Here you'll explore the wonders of science and the dramatic stories about the people who have lived in the area that now makes up the national park units of South Florida. This web page is the portal through which you can experience more than seven million objects in the museum collections of Biscayne National Park, Everglades National Park, De Soto National Memorial, Dry Tortugas National Park, and Big Cypress National Preserve. Looking for reptiles in jars of alcohol? Historic photographs? Scientific studies? Park planning documents? Archeological artifacts? We have all of those, and more!
