Cultural Resources Activities

The Lower Colorado Regional Office museum property program includes the identification, preservation, and protection of museum property that demonstrates a direct connection to Reclamation’s mission, history, or compliance with legal mandates. LCRO’s collections consist primarily of artifacts, specimens, and samples obtained through data recovery projects, along with associated records. These collections are housed in a repository in Boulder City, Nevada, meeting standards set at 36 CFR Part 79 and the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Manual 411.

The Region also houses a type collection with representative potsherds of ancestral Puebloan, early Yuman, and Southern Paiute types collected from various locations throughout southern Nevada. The collection is accompanied by “A Guide to the Ceramic Type Collection at the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies, University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the Bureau of Reclamation” by Gregory R. Seymour and Laureen Perry, May 1998.
