Description

The nantucket historical association?s (NHA) collections stewardship project will support the classification, cataloging, and rehousing of archaeological holdings that were extensively gathered, studied, and cataloged between the 1970S and 1990S. A collections specialist working with a consulting archaeologist will inventory and catalog the collection of at least 5,000 native american stone tools, native american pottery, and historic-period ceramic fragments and colonial fragments; create digital records of the collection; rehouse the archaeology collection into new museum-quality enclosures and shelving; and provide public access to object descriptions, historical context, and photography through a new, online collections portal. This project will provide the springboard for the NHA to bring these collections and the stories imbued in the stones, bones, and shards to the fore for study and education and further research.
