The Department of the Interior (DOI)

documents in trust for the American

public—a collection size that rivals the
Smithsonian Institution. This diverse
collection consists of archaeological
artifacts, archives, art, biological
specimens, ethnographic objects,
geological specimens, historic objects,
and paleontological specimens that are
held by ten of DOI’s bureaus and offices.
The majority of DOI’s collections are
housed in bureau facilities; however,
over ten percent (more than 19 million
objects and 11,000 cubic feet of objects)
are housed by at least 839 non-Federal
repositories, the majority of which are
museums associated with, or
departments of, U.S. colleges and
universities. Most are scientific
collections from the disciplines of
archaeology, biology, geology, and
paleontology and include associated
archival records.
DOI museum collections, regardless of
where they are housed, must be
managed according to preservation,
documentation, educational, and other
requirements in the public interest.
These requirements are mandated by a
number of Federal laws, regulations,
and policies, notably: Act for the
Preservation of American Antiquities of
1906 (Antiquities Act) (16 U.S.C. 431–
433); Historic Sites Act of 1935 (16
U.S.C. 461–467); Management of
Museum Properties Act of 1955, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 18f); National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.);
Archeological and Historic Preservation
Act of 1974, as amended (16 U.S.C. 469–
469l-2); Archaeological Resources
Protection Act of 1979, as amended (16
U.S.C. 470aa–mm); Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act
of 1990 (25 U.S.C. 3001–3013);
Paleontological Resources Preservation
Act (PRPA); Curation of FederallyOwned and Administered
Archaeological Collections (36 CFR part
79); and the Department of the Interior
Departmental Manual, Part 411:
Identifying and Managing Museum
Property (411 DM).
411 DM, which implements the
Federal laws and regulations noted
above, requires the following
information be collected, used, and
retained by all bureaus that hold
ownership of museum collections:
Facility Checklist for Spaces Housing
DOI Museum Property; catalog records;
accession records; and inventories of
museum collections. These
requirements apply to all DOI museum
collections regardless of each
collection’s location (DOI facility or
non-DOI facility) or the personnel that
accomplished the work (DOI staff,
contractors, partners, cooperators,
agencies, institutions, or similar

listed under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et

subsequent permits that are issued
under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act,
encourage private and other non-Federal
property owners to implement
conservation efforts for listed species by
assuring property owners that they will
not be subjected to increased land use
