The Department of the Interior (DOI)
owns and manages over 204 million artifacts, scientific specimens,
and documents in trust for the American public,as reported in the
DOI Museum Property Management Summary Report Fiscal Year 2016. A
collection surpassed in size only by that of the Smithsonian
Institution. This diverse collection consists of archaeological
materials, archives, art, biological specimens, ethnographic
artifacts, geological specimens, historic artifacts, 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 25 million
objects) are housed by at least 880 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. Federal laws and regulations
require 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; museum 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
organizations associated with the Department). This ICR enables
gathering of the required information from the non-Federal
Repositories currently housing DOI museum collections.
