The inventory database currently contains comprehensive information about the Neil Judd and Frank Roberts collections at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Anthropological Archives. It also contains partial inventories from the following seven institutions: The American Museum of Natural History The Latin American Library at Tulane University The Middle American Research Institute at Tulane University The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History Aztec Ruins National Monument The Chaco Culture National Historical Park The Chaco Archive and Vivian Archive Though the inventories for these seven institutions are not complete, we have gathered a tremendous amount of information about material relevant to the five sites that are the focus of our work (Pueblo Bonito. Bc 50, Bc 51, Bc 53, and Aztec Ruins) as well as many others within the canyon. Before using the inventory database, we suggest you to review the design schema as this document will give you a better sense of how the database tables are related, the precise definition of particular fields, and the range of information available.  Within the inventory database there are four primary sets of data available: objects, accessions, storage units, and sites.  For most researchers, the Objects and Sites links will probably be the most useful.  For each data set there are two options for how to view the data.  You can either browse all the records by going to the “list” option or you can search the records for particular words by using the “find” option.  Under the “Find Objects” link, for example, you could enter the word “Shepard” into the “CDI Description” field and retrieve a list of all the object entries that cite Anna Shepard in their descriptions.
