Welcome to the Harrison Institute
The Harrison Institute was founded in 1930 as a zoological museum, specialising in mammals and birds.
Today it is a UK registered charity (No. 268830), CITES listed (GB010), and actively facilitates biodiversity conservation through:
- Conducting taxonomic research on mammals (Recent and fossil)
- Training staff and students from UK and foreign institutions in whole organism (alpha) taxonomy
- Collaborating with molecular systematists
- Developing scientific networks
- Disseminating taxonomic information through a range of publications and other media.
The Institute is based at Bowerwood House in south-east England and works with colleagues worldwide on a range of projects, particularly in the Old World Tropics of Asia and Africa.
