Partial funding for the digitization of the manuscripts was provided by a grant from the
National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT). In 1997 the Phoebe
Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley received an
Information Management grant from the National Center for Preservation Technology and
Training entitled, "Digitization of Primary Documents Pertaining to the Archaeological
Collections from California and Nevada in the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology." The
purpose of this grant was both preservation of fragile archival documents and sustained
research access to these documents.
NCPTT promotes and enhances the preservation of prehistoric and historic resources in the
United States for present and future generations through the advancement and dissemination
of preservation. NCPTT's Preservation, Technology and Training Grants program develops
partners in non-profit organizations, universities and government agencies throughout the
United States to complete critical preservation work and lends significant support to
developments in the conservation and preservation field.

The Archaeological Archives contain documentary materials from 1900 to the present for many
sites and regions in California and other areas of western North America. Many of the
documents resulted from projects carried out between 1948 and 1971 by the University of
California Archaeological Survey (later the Archaeological Research Facility) organized and
directed by Professor Robert Heizer.
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.
*The term manuscript should not be taken literally since the documents are seldom edited to
be consulted like a book and the quality and quantity of their content varies
noticeably.
