Whether you are engaged in research or interested in learning more about anthropology collections, you can now search the Museum’s permanent collection for specific object types, culture/people, geographic region, and artist/maker. Highlight groups offer a quick view of preselected objects. 

The Online Catalogue does not include the Museum's entire collection, but as an active collecting, teaching, and research institution, the Haffenreffer Museum's resources are continually evolving and improving. The Museum's goal is to continue to enhance online access by adding thousands more object records and images of collections as they become available.
