Want a closer look at Wesleyan's

Archaeology and Anthropology Collections?

Our goal is to balance responsible collections care with the ability to provide unique educational opportunities to members of the Wesleyan, Middletown, and broader communities. However, please bear in mind that most of our collections are currently in storage. Our ability to honor requests for access depends on numerous factors, most significantly the availability of space and staff, and tends to vary throughout the academic year. The best way to ensure access is to contact us well in advance of your anticipated needs.

Wesleyan students, staff and faculty interested in finding out more about the collections, including the possibility of using or working with objects for classes and other pedagogical projects, should contact the Collections Manager directly. All other interested individuals may contact either the Director of Collections or the Collections Manager.
