Regulation of paleontological resources began with the creation of the Antiquities Act of 1906, but it was not until the passing of the Paleontological Resources Preservation Act (PRPA) of 2009 that the regulation was clarified on the following: permitting, penalties, inventorying, amateur collecting, curation, and education and research in certain departments within the Department of Interior (DOI) and the Department of Agriculture. This served to further protect paleontological resources within public lands through the use of scientific expertise for the purpose of education and research.Museum collections are held within public trust for the purpose of education and research and are curated to the highest scientific standards. These institutions work with federal institutions to preserve paleontological specimens found on public lands in accordance with the PRPA. Accessing collections protected by the PRPA requires written permission and location data is exempt from being revealed. Digitization of paleontological collections that are not protected by the PRPA has been a slow process. Online collaborative databases such as Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) and the Global Biodiversity Facility (GBIF) offer museums the chance to combine with other museums and institutions to develop a global database that shares highly curated biological and paleontological collections for the purpose of education and research. This evolution of museum collections can benefit spatial research as biodiversity data standards become more developed. However, this evolution has also been slow, and research incorporating paleontological collections with GIS is limited.The objective of this thesis is to present a case study focusing on Petroleum County, Montana, where a dual geodatabase system was created incorporating both museum and field collections to assist with site management, assessment, and inventorying. A customized model toolbox allows for paleontologists to perform analyses related to their hypotheses. These geodatabases are designed for the sole purpose of simplifying and aiding in management practices through the incorporation of museum collections. Museum collections are already incorporated with these assessments and inventorying. With the addition of GIS, museum collections' involvement will bring new possibilities for how their collections are applied.
