Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology: many object collections have been photographed and are available online. Collection types include archaeology; ethnography; osteology; and painting, drawing, and prints, as well as the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions. Object collections include Central, North, and South American materials as well as repatriated NAGPRA items, organized by exhibit category and searchable in an online catalog. Each category can be further limited in searches by select material type, origin, or region; Central American materials include Maya and Aztec collections from Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua, as well as colonial and historical materials from Mexico. The collections also include significant holdings from lower Central America. Ethnographic items include early twentieth-century textiles, folk art, and masks; Collections from South America derive primarily from Peru, but also include small regional collections from other parts of the Continent; North American collections, including Canadian and Alaskan materials, make up nearly half of the Museum’s collections.
