University of Oklahoma (Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, University of Oklahoma)

The Sam Noble Museum will inventory, catalog, and database artifacts and associated archives in its Collection of Archaeology, focusing on its collection from the Spiro Mounds Group and material recovered by the Works Progress Administration from 1934-1942. The museum will share the project via media outlets, events, and publications. The database will be accessible to museum staff, scientists, federal and state agencies, tribes, and the general public through the museum’s website. The project will allow the museum to gain intellectual and physical control over its collection, upgrade the management of collection data, expand the accessibility of artifact information, strengthen the capacity for scholarly research, and contribute to the multidisciplinary teaching and research missions of the museum and university.
