Map of North America, likely displayed in visible storage at the Museum of Anthropology, showing various geographic regions of the continent. The "Great Basin & Plateau" is highlighted.
Image of a page, likely from a catalogue in visible storage that was available for visitors to gain further information on the items on display. This page deals with "Shekwan Ware"; a distinct type of Chinese pottery, and was written by Audrey Shane.
Map of the world with different regions given different colours. The purpose of this map is uncertain but it appears to be a plan for organizing visible storage.
Page of an open Museum of Anthropology catalogue describing item D4.6. These catalogues were located throughout visible storage in the Museum of Anthropology in order to provide visitors with information on the items being displayed.
Four house front totem poles stand in a meridian, likely at the University of British Columbia. These were largely recovered from Ninstints in 1957. A diving board in the background, as well as the buildings, suggest the photograph was taken on University Boulevard, west of the intersection with Wesbrook Mall.
