 In 2003, the University of Pittsburgh, which owns a complete collection of "Birds of America" that had been recently restored and preserved by the Etherington Conservation Center, mounted a major exhibition of 62 selected plates and other materials in its University Art Gallery.Following this, the university constructed an exhibit case on the ground floor of the school's Hillman Library to continuously display a rotating selection of plates to the public.Single plates have been exhibited for two weeks at a time in plate number order.
