Collections Search

Online searches for specific collections are not yet available for the archaeological collections.  Plans are currently underway to allow researchers the opportunity to browse the collections.

We encourage researchers and scholars to visit the Archaeology lab, conduct research, and request loans for specific collections or artifacts. Visits, research space and loans are arranged by contacting Curator Dr. Mary Adair.  Advanced arrangements are strongly encouraged.
