We strive to make our vast national collections accessible, both online and in person, to anyone with a research question related to our collections. Visiting researchers include community groups, culture-bearers, students, anthropologists, artists, historians and museum professionals.
Update, May 2022: The museum has re-opened the collections spaces for normal research activities. However, due to a backlog of postponed visits, as well as summer programs resuming, there is increased demand for services and a limited number of appointments available, especially in June and July. Please be flexible and plan ahead, so that we can accommodate your visit. Thank you!
Access to the collection is provided by appointment only. We have a limited number of staff members to assist researchers. Therefore, we suggest that you book an appointment at least a month in advance.
