[edit] Collection Summary
The Oriental Institute's comprehensive collections, including artifacts, photographs, excavation records, administrative documents, and publications, have been built to serve the needs of current and future scholars, and the size and quality of these collections are primary measures of the Institute's standing in the field of ancient Near Eastern studies. Management of the materials that comprise the Oriental Institute's collections is organized into five units: Museum Registration, Tablet Collection, Archives, Conservation, and the Research Library. Additionally, individual faculty and research projects also maintain materials such as study collections; project materials in process, such as current excavation drawings, records, and notes; and other unpublished materials which have not yet been turned over to the Institute.
