STORAGE GUIDELINES

Green Line

     The Repository will accept for storage collections from archaeological sites in California. Collections from areas adjacent to California will be accepted if they fall within the scope of a single project and should be housed with the California collections to maintain the integrity of the data.

     The scope of services provided by the Repository will consist of maintaining a storage and retrieval system and preservation of the collections in such form and manner that the objects will be available for research and study by the public.

The following conditions apply to the storage of collections:

1.  

The collection must be cleaned, identified, catalogued, and analyzed by the depositor prior to storage.  

 

2.  

Collections should be boxed in heavy-duty storage boxes, 10" high by 12" wide and 15" long. Items too large to box should be clearly and permanently labeled with the site number and the catalogue number.

 

3.  

Boxes must be labeled on the outside with the site trinomial as well as the catalogue numbers assigned to the artifacts within the box.

 

4.  

Fragile artifacts should be bagged separately before placing in box.

 

5.  

All appropriate reports, catalogues, site records, maps, and notes must accompany the collection.

 

6.  

The museum should be notified of the size of the collection at least 2 weeks prior to delivery.

 

7.  

Payment must be made at the time of deposit unless otherwise arranged in advance. The one-time fee per cubic foot (1 box) is $1000.00.

 

8.  

Upon receipt, the collection will be assessed for compliance to the above guidelines before acceptance. If curation is required by the museum staff, the depositor will be billed for time and materials.
