Peabody Museum Annual Reports

The Peabody Museum's early annual reports contain detailed information about museum donors, collections, expeditions and operations. The Museum has digitized Annual Reports dated from 1868-1890 which are readily available online. Check the Table of Contents to find the year and section needed; original indices for the years 1868-1886 are included at the end of the annual report and contain site names, donor names, and subjects. Note: the early reports have inconsistent pagination and in some cases, page numbering starts over at page one while other volumes are numbered consecutively. Thus, page numbers are listed in the Table of Contents only if deemed useful.

Note: Annual Reports dated after 1890 are part of Harvard University's President Reports, which can be found on online through Harvard University Library.
