The historic sites act (section 461) establishes a national policy to preserve for public use, historic and archeological sites, objects, and antiquities of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the people of the united states. Curating the collections with the repository allows access to the collection by both private and public enterprises and the general public. Access to the collection is used for educational purposes, inspiration, cultural resources, research, and enjoyment. Continued curation of this collection will provide improved access to this resource. The center for archaeology and society repository (casr) will continue to provide long-term curation to BOR collections. Casr will provide reclamation with both physical and any digital records and archives associated with navajo reservoir nagpra collections. Reclamation will take custody of these records and archives, and casr will retain a digital record of the transfer and destroy any transferred digital records. Casr will assist reclamation with repatriation tasks for navajo reservoir nagpra collections, including inventory review, rehousing, and other tasks as requested.
