This report presents the data base developed in the National Environmental Specimen Bank (NESB) Survey. The methodology utilized in developing the mailing lists and in developing and maintaining the data base records also is included. The NESB Survey Data Base is computerized in the Oak Ridge Computerized Hierarchical Information System, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830.

The 657 environmental specimen collections that were located and documented in the NESB Survey Data Base include the following categories: animal, atmospheric, geological, microbiological, plant, and water. However, the majority of the collections identified are biological in nature. Three indices of the NESB Survey Data Base are included in this report: respondents names and addresses categorized by organizational affiliation; (2) alphabetical listing of respondents; and geographical sampling location for materials in collections.
