The Department of Anthropology at the University of Oregon houses a comparative collection of reference faunal specimens on the University of Oregon campus. The comparative collection is used to analyze faunal remains found in archaeological sites located along the North Pacific and the Pacific Islands. The collections are maintained in Condon Hall, Room 264, on the University of Oregon campus, at the southeast corner of Kincaid Street and 13th Ave. in Eugene, Oregon.

Madonna L. Moss is in charge of the North Pacific Collections, while William S. Ayres is in charge of the Pacific Islands Collections. The Archaeological Research Division of the State Museum of Anthropology also houses a comparative faunal collection (specializing in Oregon) in the Museum's Moss Street building. Guy Tasa is charge of the Museum's faunal collection.
