About the collections database

The collections database website and the artifact records it provides for public use are a continuing work in progress. We acknowledge that errors and inaccuracies and unintentional omissions exist. We also realize that artifact descriptions reflect the tenor and the language of the time in which they were written. Records will be added and corrected as time and research permit. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
