School for Advanced Research (Indian Arts Research Center)

The Indian Arts Research Center will use funds to improve the stewardship of its collection of Southwest Native American art, which consists of over 12,500 objects. Museum staff will inventory and barcode objects in the collection, which will result in efficient and accurate knowledge of object location and condition. Staff will receive training on the new collections management system and inventory process. Improved collections management will allow staff to access the collection more easily for exhibition and programmatic purposes.
