About the Repository |

“The Hudson Museum maintains a collection of over 8,000 ethnographic and archaeological objects including a world class assemblage of 2,828 Precolumbian ceramics, lithics and gold work dating from 2000 BC to the time of the Spanish Conquest [the William P. Palmer III Collection]. This collection is complemented by contemporary ethnographic objects from Mexico, Guatemala and Panama. “ [Source for quote: http://www.umaine.edu/hudsonmuseum/coll.php.] A permanent exhibit (not digital): “Realms of Blood and Jade: Prehispanic Mesoamerica Explores the evolution of cultures and civilizations in Mexico and Central America over time from the Olmec to the Aztec.” [Source: http://www.umaine.edu/hudsonmuseum/perm.php.] A digital exhibit planned for summer 2005: “Talismans, Tokens and Treasures: Ethnographic Jewelry from the Hudson Museum's Collections.” [Source: http://www.umaine.edu/hudsonmuseum/exhi.php.] See also the related links for current, online Mesoamerican exhibits offered by this museum.

Their use as decor, props, investments, or art objects belies their antiquity and importance for understanding the lifeways of peoples long gone. These highly visible artifacts have lost their original context. Context is the environment determining an object’s meaning for the people who made and used it. Recently, archaeologists and art historians have been making progress in understanding the cultures of ancient West Mexico, putting tomb figures back into context.”
