Atwood Resource Center and the Anchorage Museum Virtual Tour

Thursday, October 13 • 11 a.m.–12 p.m., Atwood Resource Center at Anchorage Museum

The Anchorage Museum collection highlights the environment, people and cultures of the Circumpolar North. The collection has grown since the Museum’s founding in 1968 to span over 26,000 objects and over 700,000 photographs and archival materials. The collection serves as a focal point for honoring the stories and legacies of these works for the public and for future generations—connecting people, building relationships and common understanding.

The virtual tour highlighted the current work being done in the Atwood Resource Center (ARC) Archives and Library, including a walk-through of the spaces where staff, researchers, and the community can access and engage with the collections. Staff will also share some of the current and ongoing projects they are working with, as well as the redesign of the ARC that is currently underway.

The virtual tour was guided by museum employees Heather McClain, Chloe Nielsen and Monica Shah.
