Pacific Anthropology
at the Field Museum

Traditionally, curatorships in museums have been defined around individuals.  The truth is, it takes many people to properly look after, study, and safeguard collections.

​

Through the generosity of Chicago’s Regenstein Foundation, we have been able to realize a dream long held for our Pacific collections.  We now have a true Pacific Curatorship for these remarkable collections. We employ an endowed team of dedicated experts: the Regenstein Curator of Pacific Anthropology, Collections Manager of Pacific Anthropology, Conservator of Pacific Anthropology, and annual interns. Our team also includes a collections assistant, research associates, and a number of volunteers.
