Biographical Sketch
The New York State Museum (NYSM) had its beginnings in 1836, with
the establishment of the state Geological and Natural History Survey.
A State Cabinet of Natural History was established in 184 to care
for and exhibit the collections from this survey, which in 1847 was
expanded to include an historical and antiquarian (archaeological)
collection. The first archaeological artifacts, with their accession
records, were accepted from private donors in 1848. At present, archaeological
artifacts and associated documentation are included within Anthropology
collections, which are administered as par of the Research and Collections
Division of the museum. Under State Education Law Sect. 233, the NYSM
is mandated to care for these collections and to use them and make
them available for researc and education. Archaeology collections
currently consist of approximately 2 million artifacts from hundreds
of New York sites. The accompanying documentation provides context
and interpretive value to the artifacts. The archaeological excavations
and surveys that resulted in these collections were carried out by
private individuals, organizations such as local chapters of the New
York State Archaeological Association, academic institutions during
the course of field schools and research projects, museum staff archaeologists
in the course of research activities, private Cultural Resource Management
firms carrying out archaeological investigations under contract to
private and public developers, and the NYSM Cultural Resource Survey
Program (CRSP) staff conducting archaeologica research under contract
to state agencies.
