Academic Research Requests
For any students or researchers who are interested in conducting research in one of The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s collections we strongly recommend that you first read the guidelines on zoo research that have been produced by the BIAZA (British & Irish Association of Zoos and Aquaria) Research Group.
Students with data/information enquiries must have a covering letter from a tutor, confirming that they are a student at a particular college/university and that their request is a legitimate one.
Once this is done research requests should be made by emailing research@rzss.org.uk or by mail to:
