The Northwest Coast ethnological collection at the Burke Museum, University of Washington, is one of the best documented systematic anthropological collections in the country. Due to its size and quality, the collection is used extensively by anthropological researchers. However, the existing inadequate storage facilities have hampered effective use of the collections. To remedy this problem the curators will renovate their storage facility, complete an inventory, and computerize information on the collections. These measures will protect these irreplaceable collections from deterioration and theft. They will also insure an increase in accessibility thereby stimulating additional scientific research.

华盛顿大学伯克博物馆的西北海岸民族学藏品是美国最有文献记载的系统人类学藏品之一。由于其大小和质量，该收藏被人类学研究人员广泛使用。然而，现有的储存设施不足，阻碍了藏品的有效使用。为了解决这个问题，馆长将翻新他们的储存设施，完成清点，并将藏品信息计算机化。这些措施将保护这些不可替代的收藏品免受变质和盗窃。它们还将确保增加可获得性，从而刺激更多的科学研究。
