POLICY FOR ACCESS TO THE MUSEUM OF THE ALEUTIANS COLLECTIONS
Access to the Museum of the Aleutians collections is integral to the Museum’s mission. The Museum recognizes that there are many different reasons to access its collections. Physical access to the collections is granted for legitimate research and educational purposes. All researchers must make a formal request to the Director (zoyaj@arctic.net) or Collections Manager (eva@arctic.net) at least two weeks prior to the expected visit. The staff will consider the condition of the collection, the availability of staff time and research space and the concerns of any interested parties in assessing each request.
In certain circumstances there will be a restriction placed on access to information. This may relate to the location of archaeological sites or the name of a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. There are also many different organizations represented in the museum’s collections and facilities (the Quawalangin tribe, Ounalashka Corporation, the city, private individuals). All restrictions should be honored as they are central to the museum’s code of ethics. If in doubt about possible restrictions, refer to the Collections Manager or the Museum Director.REPRODUCTION POLICY
Photo images
The Museum of the Aleutians has a large photographic collection, portraying the natural and human history of the Aleutian Islands from 1900 until nowadays. Thanks to an Alaska Humanities Forum grant a large part of this collection was digitized and now is in the process of being posted on-line. The on-line version of these images is intended for patrons’ search of the museum’s collections only. Any other use of these images is illegal. To obtain a digital copy of an image please provide the Museum’s Collection Manager with a written statement explaining the reason for the request, and specifying the photos needed and the nature of the project. Since the Museum can only reproduce items that are owned outright by the Museum, the requests for reproduction of some images can be denied.
