Bowlsby Collection
In July 2002, private collector Bob Bowlsby donated more than 50 Alaska
Native cultural objects and a slide collection to Sealaska Heritage Institute.
It is the largest private collection of cultural objects ever given to
SHI. The collection includes baskets, halibut hooks, carving tools, spoons,
a rattle and a number of stone objects that appear prehistoric, said SHI
President Rosita Worl, a Tlingit anthropologist (more).
