PEABODY MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORTS ONLINE RESOURCE

The Peabody Museum's early annual reports contain detailed information on museum donors, collections, expeditions, and operations. We have imaged the 1st to the 24th annual reports (1868-1890) so that they can be easily used. Use the Table of Contents to find the year and section you need. Original indices to the years 1868-1886 are included at the end of the ?? annual report and contain site names, donor names, and subjects. Annual reports after 1890 are part of Harvard University's President Reports, which can be found on the Library Digital Initiative Site in the near future. The pagination of the early reports was not consistent. For some reports within a volume, the numbering starts again with 1. For other volumes the reports are numbered consecutively. We have listed page numbers in the Table of Contents only where we think they will be useful.

The annual report pages have been converted to Adobe PDF Files. If you do not have a PDF reader on your system you may download a free copy of a reader by clicking HERE.
