The museum collection contains 22,000 preserved specimens, including 14,500 mammals, 7,000 birds, and 3,200 fish from the northern Rocky Mountains region.
Morton Elrod established the museum in 1897 as the first biology professor at the University of Montana, starting with an ornithology teaching collection from 1880.
The museum preserves physical records documenting animal populations through time, enabling scientists to study environmental changes and species distribution patterns.

The collection includes specimens from distant locations, such as an Emperor penguin from Antarctica and animal specimens from Leningrad dating back to 1851.
