Cope artifacts include: his pick and field diary from the American Museum of Natural History; from the Smithsonian archives, headlines of the original New York Herald chronicling their public fued; field specimens discovered in the vaults of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, left as Cope had prepared them for shipment - still wrapped in newspapsers of the day, the Fargo Forum and the Sioux County Herald, both dated 1893.  From the University of Pennsylvania, the bones of the legendary bone hunter himself, Professor Edward Drinker Cope.
