The curation program is primarily designed to fit the needs of professional consultants, lead agencies and others that have developed a collection of cultural resources from a project that required archaeological and/or Native American monitoring compliance. Collections can be, but are not limited to, items collected during Capital Improvement projects, private developments and other mitigation projects. Items within the Curation Program are stored in a 36 CFR compliant facility.
A full box is expected to be submitted to the ITCC in an archival plastic corrugated box (15"x12"10). Boxes are to be no more than 30lbs and have printed labels within the box and a QR code affixed to the outside of the box. The QR code must be linked to the collection catalogue and technical report.
