MNHS collections are always accessible online at www.mnhs.org/collections. Physical access to collections items is generally granted for legitimate research, educational or religious purposes. Requests for access to highly sensitive items are subject to review by the NAGPRA coordinators and members of the MNHS Indian Advisory Committee (IAC), as appropriate.
Requests for access to sensitive items must include a written statement that explains the reason for access, specifies the collection item needed, and describes the intended use.
Request for access to items eligible for repatriation under NAGPRA must be preceded by a letter of intent and identification from the tribal chair. Exceptions to these policies may be made in the case of objects used by members of the affiliated American Indian groups.
