Historic Art and Archives
Glacier National Parks museum collection currently includes
approximately 2,200 archeological artifacts, of which about 30%
(or 900 artifacts) are un-cataloged and their associated data
have not been entered into the parks Automated National Catalog
System. These artifacts are throughout the park ranging from
campsites to vision quest sites to historic 20th century
Euro-American mining and homesteading sites. The un-cataloged
status of these important artifacts leaves the park with two
deficiencies: limited access to these artifacts and a persistent
archeological cataloging backlog. |
