Description
The Chaco Research Archive: "an online resource providing access to a wealth of information documenting the history of archaeological research in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. The archive includes material from dozens of sites excavated in the Chaco Culture National Historical Park and beyond. Search over 9,000 photographs from over 70 years of National Park Service ruins stabilization work, an interactive site map and more. The goal of the Chaco archive is to electronically integrate the widely dispersed information on Chacoan history in order to allow scholars to more effectively and efficiently address the many unresolved issues regarding culture change and organization in the canyon and in the broader region. These issues have broader implications as well since they are central to achieving a better understanding of Pueblo history throughout the Southwest... maps, drawings, and photographs from the early projects in Chaco Canyon are critical to understanding the pre-Hispanic occupation of this important region.— over 15,000 historic images from research in Chaco Canyon have now been digitized and are searchable."
