dc.description.abstractThe curation crisis is an ongoing problem with the lack of space and resources to properly curate collections throughout the country. There are many papers and research studies about the curation crisis: how to solve it and how to keep more from piling up. I will review these and their ideas for solving the problem and how they could be put towards Florida’s collection problem. Florida has a curation facility for artifacts collected on state land. However, if the artifacts are collected on private land and the landowners do not want the artifacts they remain with the CRM firm that collected them. Two surveys will be undertaken for this thesis to ascertain the public and professional opinions on curation, the purpose of curating, and if the collections recovered from archaeological investigations are worth the cost to curate them in perpetuity.en_US
