Reports of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) from throughout the Border Grizzly Area were collected, verified, coded, and stored in a computerized file called the base data bank. Each report included four primary categories of information - report type, date, location, and source of information. Depending upon complexity, additional data were either stored in the base data bank using secondary information categories or were recorded verbatim in a narrative file that was cross-referenced from the base data bank. Applications of the system and its further development are discussed.
