Each year, the Center teaches more than 40,000 visitors and 14,000 schoolchildren around the nation through its Adopt-A-Raptor and classroom visits program. Alaska State Museum - As the official repository of the state's history, the Alaska State Museum is charged with collecting and interpreting a wealth of ethnographic and historical material. From an Aleut thimble basket to the life-sized eagle tree, the Alaska State Museum offers visitors a chance to ""see"" all the state within four walls. Sheldon Jackson Museum - The museum was founded in 1888 to house an exceptional collection of Alaska Native ethnographic material, most of which had been gathered by Presbyterian missionary and General Agent of Education for Alaska, the Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson. In 1985, the state purchased the Sheldon Jackson Museum and now administers its collection of 6,000 objects. |
