Since 1999, Petra Sierwald [and coll.] is working to compile a list of the millipede collections of the world. This list will be published and it is hoped it will assist researchers locating material and promote research on myriapod taxa. There is a questionnaire available electronically that Petra can forward to the collection manager or curator. Please e-mail Petra Sierwald and request the questionnaire.
You can reach the Field Museum (Chicago) to http://www.fmnh.org and the list to http://www.fmnh.org/research_collections/zoology/zoo_sites/millipeet/home.html
