Catalogues in Primatology
As the original catalogues concerning Munichs' primates were lost in the year 1944, all catalogues now available are not primary but secondary documents. Yet, as they have been executed on a wide base of re-recherches and re-classification, they should be almost as secure in their information as the lost were.
From V/98 on there has been worked to both combine the existing catalogues of primates (SAPM from 1962 and ZSM from 1948) as well as make them available in the internet. After a short trial run (III-V/99) of version 2.0 at this place this catalogue has been transferred (including slight alterations) to the homepage of the SAPM.
Because of visible gaps, uncertanties etc. it has been begun by the end of 1999 to systematically record the crania of the SAPM and the ZSM, to check and – if possible – ascertain the existing data and / or to newly classify them. The thus made catalogue newly recorded crania 2000" has been made available on the homepage of the SAPM.
Starting at the end of the year 2000 it also has been begun to newly record the existing skeletons of primates and to correct missing or misleading entries. This project has now been finished, too. So, the catalogue newly recorded skeletons 2001" is available to the public on the homepage of the SAPM, too.
