The NLAS is looking for an existing collection of artifacts to catalog and photograph in the Province. We have funding to hire an archaeologist who will document your collection and compile a report. You can download last year’s report from our website to get an idea of the end result. We return all of the artifacts along with a printed copy of the report to the collector.
If you have a collection that you would like to share and have recorded, or if you have any further questions, please contact the NLAS: nlas@nlarchsociety.ca
We don’t want anyone to go out looking for artifacts, but we understand that sometimes people find them. The Community Collections Archaeological Research Project is a great way to share a piece of your community’s past with the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and to be recognized for your role in helping to preserve it.
