Central Arizona Project Archaeological Collection Transfer Plan - Transfer from Central Arizona Project Repository (Tucson, AZ) To Huhugam Heritage Center (Chandler, AZ, vicinity)

This planning and protocol document describes the activities necessary for the physical, legal, and ethical transfer of the Bureau of Reclamation’s Central Arizona project collections from the Central Arizona Project Repository in Tucson to the Gila River Indian Community’s Huhugam Heritage Center outside of Phoenix. There are over 6000 boxes of artifacts and more than 300 linear feet of archival materials stemming from this twenty-year project.

Currently, Reclamation is in a direct cooperative agreement with the University of Arizona, Arizona State Museum to manage the archaeological collections at the Central Arizona Project Repository (CAPR). The Army Corps of Engineers will provide expertise, the completed Collection Transfer Plan, and assistance throughout the entire transfer project, and will supervise the physical transfer activities acting as Reclamation’s Site Supervisors.
