Private Collection Inquiry

Do you have a collection of artifacts or other cultural items from Utah and the surrounding area? HDHR may be able to help identify the descendant communities they belong to and transfer ownership to them.

At this time, HDHR is establishing agreements with Tribes regarding how to return items, and will not be able to physically transfer anything for 6 - 12 months. If you have items that you would like to surrender, please fill out this form to be added to our waitlist.
