WELCOME TO THE SKULL INDEX

  • WHO WE ARE


The Skull Index CIC is a collaborative project between museums, wildlife groups, and the general public. We are an unfunded, volunteer-led, and run non-profit project by a fantastic team of neurodivergent people of various professions, from students, anthropologists, parasitologists to educators and museum professionals.

We have Public Liability Insurance in place for outreach talks & events.

  • WHAT WE DO 
     

Gathering photographs, measurements and data of various vertebrate specimens from a range of sources, we created a database for artists, researchers, teachers and anyone interested in skull identification. If you collect skulls or know a museum interested in collaborating with us, check out our 'Get Involved' page! The project is in its early stages, starting development in October 2023. We hope to continue to grow this website, our social media, and our community discord server. In 2025, we plan to expand our free in-person outreach education talks at various events like societies, charity fundraisers, homeschooling, and schools or small museums with both our UK and USA teams. Want to see where our next talks are? See 'Outreach Education'.​​

Support Us

As a volunteer-led project, The Skull Index relies on the generosity of our supporters to continue running our site. Your donation helps keep the site online each month, enable our volunteers to travel to outreach events and can help us expand our educational resources  and promote the study of animal diversity around the world.

Look out for summer 2025 when we'll be having pins designed by local artists to raise funds for wildlife charities!
