About Website
Over 180,000 ethnological objects from Africa, Europe, Asia, the Pacific Islands and the Americas have been digitally imaged and are accessible through this Website. By clicking on one of the continents, one can search for a particular object name within a continental collection. For example, a search for the object name "mask" in the African collection results in over 650 masks from across that continent. Alternatively, by clicking on the Globe icon, one can search for a particular object name from the entire planet Earth. For example, a search for the object name "mask" results in over 2,500 masks from the worldwide collection.
