A majority of the type specimens have been databased, but not photographed. Data is available through GBIF (dataset https://www.gbif.org/dataset/489cf6d8-4171-46bd-94b1-ca514fb2043f) or the Finnish National Biodiversity Portal (https://laji.fi/en/observation/map?collectionId=HR.163).

Notes about the data:
Identification reliability varies strongly within the collection. A few families or other taxa have been recently examined and re-identified, but most are in need of revision.

With few exceptions, all Finnish material originally kept in Coll. Frey have been moved into the MZH/Luomus Diptera Fennica collection.
