Accessing Artifacts:

The Museum is responsible for making collections accessible to the public. This is typically accomplished through changing exhibitions, both in-house and at other venues, and through our Visual Storage area in the lower level of the main Museum building. Members at the $100 level and above can also access collections online through “View Our Collection.”

Additionally, members or donors may request direct, personal access to an artifact.

Anyone wishing to view a specific artifact at the Museum must submit a request to Curator of Collections/Registrar Angela Stanford at least one week (five business days) in advance of the requested visit date. If approval to view an artifact is granted, the piece will be prepared for viewing and members or donors will be allowed to see it in person. Please be aware that for the protection of collections, the Curator may request that specific procedures be followed during the visit.
