The Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection was established in 1938 by the late Dr. William B. Davis, founder of the Department of Wildlife
Management (later Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences) at Texas A&M University. The collections within the TCWC serve as historical evidence of the
distribution of wildlife in Texas, and provide valuable ecological and life history information for an array of vertebrate species. The collections are
used in the research of Texas A&M faculty, graduate students, and scientists worldwide, as well as for the teaching of natural history, conservation
and wildlife management, both within the university and in public schools.
TCWC Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection http://wfscnet.tamu.edu/tcwc/tcwc.htm
The Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection primarily documents the faunal history of Texas, the United States, Central and South America, and the
Gulf of Mexico. This includes over one million specimens and their associated historical documents, so as to assure their accessibility to current
and future generations. Historically the TCWC has been an invaluable source of data for researchers in the fields of biodiversity, vertebrate
evolution, endangered species, wildlife and fisheries conservation, and even forensic biology. This information is also made available to the public,
to increase awareness of the natural history of Texas and thus enabling the citizens of Texas to make better-informed decisions affecting their
natural environment. In recent years, the mission of the TCWC has expanded to include a greater focus on public access and education.

The Texas Photo Record Files, housed in the TCWC, contain an estimated 6000 photographs, slides, CDs, and video tapes that document
