Department Summary

As an essential partner in the University's educational, research,

and public service mission, the University of Oregon Museum of

Natural and Cultural History (MNCH) enhances knowledge of Earth's

past, present, and future.

The museum is a center of interdisciplinary research and education,

serving the State of Oregon, the University of Oregon, Native

American Tribes, the research community, K-12 students and

teachers, and the wider public in Oregon and beyond.

An established major engine of archaeological research in the

American West, the museum's Archaeological Research Division works

across the state on dozens of archaeological projects each year.

The MNCH is also the State of Oregon's official repository for

publicly owned collections and is home to hundreds of thousands of

ethnographic and archaeological objects, fossils, and biological

specimens from Oregon and around the world.

The museum annually welcomes more than 30,000 visitors and serves

another 20,000 Oregonians through its statewide educational

programs. A winner of the 2018 National Medal for Museum and

Library Service, the museum is fully accredited by the American

Alliance of Museums, distinguishing it as one of the very best

museums in the nation.

The Museum employs a staff of approximately 40 faculty,

researchers, classified, administrative, and student employees

across several facilities on the University of Oregon, Eugene

campus. Annual expenditures are about $3 million, from dozens of

funding sources and allocated among a variety of projects across

four museum divisions.
