Gans Collections and Charitable Fund

Gans Collections and Charitable Fund, Inc. is a private foundation established by Carl Gans to continue his work in Biology.

The Fund's efforts include making the works of Carl Gans available to the public in the widest possible manner. This includes free online publication of the full text of his Biology of the Reptilia, consisting of over 22 volumes and 13,800 pages.

We also offer grants to students or researchers to utilize the collections, attend conferences, and advance the current state of research. To get on our list for grant notifications, please enter your email address on the form at the bottom of the page.
