Organization of the Images

The organization of the image collection is by material, type of object, and period or date. Images of objects that illustrate some of the seven major categories are provided above. Each Index List Section has one or more pages of thumbnail images. Each thumbnail image on the thumbnail page is linked to an information page and a full size image of the artifact. The image database may also be searched by keyword.
