[Nhcoll-l] Temporary collection closure, Section of Anthropology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

[Harding, Deborah]

Last week I wrote about the closure of the ethnographic collections, believing that an initial post had been sent about closing the archaeological collections. Well, it hadn't, so here's the full story.

Having received an NEH grant for the re-housing of the archaeological collection (compact mobile storage, new cabinets, etc.), starting in January of 2015, there will be no access to those collections for approximately two years. And because most of the archaeology collection will be stored in the aisles of the ethnographic collection, that area will be closed as well.

There will be limited access to the collections from January through June 2015, while we prepare for the Big Move.  Researchers who absolutely need to see parts of the collections are advised to contact me for the ethnographic collections, and Amy Covell [covella at carnegiemnh.org] for the archaeological material, as soon as possible.

It's going to be a tiring job, but in the end the collections will be better for it.
