Description
The Archaeological Archives at the Hearst Museum include about 470 manuscripts*, mostly from archaeological research on archaeological sites in California and Nevada conducted by professors and students of the Department of Anthropology, staff of the Museum, and, in more recent times, by individuals working in different institutions. The manuscripts, which might include survey and excavation records, typed or handwritten notes, photographs, sketch maps, drawings, permits, newspaper clippings, and correspondence are often associated with archaeological collections curated at UC Berkeley, and they were created throughout the 20th century.
