Content Disclaimer

Information in this database comes from the Museum's internal database, and in some cases is incomplete or awaiting refinement. Researching the collection is an important part of our work, and we continue to improve object descriptions, document object histories, add bibliographic references, and update other data. New photography and content are uploaded to these pages regularly.

The collection includes content that may not be suitable for all viewers. Words and phrases ascribed by the creators of certain objects may be considered derogatory, offensive, or graphic in nature. The images, their inscriptions, - and, in some cases, their titles - are products of their time. They are presented here as documentation, not as a reflection of the University of Arkansas Museum's values. Language and societal norms shift, and we seek to reflect such changes as we update information made available online. Cataloging is a continuous work in progress, however, and we welcome your input to enhance our understanding and presentation of the collection.
