Curatorial and Research Services: The Facility shall furnish personnel, facilities, supplies, materials, and services for the professional care,
management and curatorial services of the collections from Corps project lands or activities under Corps
management in or near the State of Texas in accordance with this Agreement. The Facility shall provide curation
and research activities relating to the protection, preservation, stabilization, management, and utilization of the
cultural resources of the Corps while recognizing the Federal Government's continued ownership and control over
the collection of cultural resources and any other U.S. Government- owned property provided to the Facility.
With regard to collections of cultural resources obtained pursuant to the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the parties to this agreement recognize that the collection(s) are being held in trust
until such time as they can be repatriated or otherwise dealt with according to the wishes of the appropriate tribe,
group, or individual as determined under procedures established under Sections 3, 5, and 6 of the Act
A. Perform all work necessary to protect the SWD collections in accordance with the regulations
contained in 36 CFR 79, 32 CFR 229, EP 1130-2-540, ER 1130-2-433, ER 1130-2-438. Corps
collections covered by this agreement are listed in Attachment 1. This list will be updated annually by
the Facility to reflect the collections and quantities of Division collections currently housed by the
Facility.
B. Provide and maintain a repository facility having requisite equipment, space and adequate
safeguards for the physical security and controlled environment of the collections, as detailed in 36
CFR 79.9. Bulk materials, such as soil samples and chipped stone debitage, may be housed in a
facility that does not fully meet these requirements, pending improvements to comply with 36 CFR
79.9 insofar as possible given the availability of Facility funds. And to obtain as necessary, and as
funding is made available by each district, any special materials, supplies, and equipment required for
the curation and long-term maintenance of Corps collections. Such materials, supplies, and
equipment shall be used solely for maintenance of Corps collections.
C. Provide access to the collections for any person qualified as a researcher under 36 CFR 79.1O(b) or to
Corps employees for collection research or examination upon request. All requests for visual
examination of a Corps collection will be made in accordance with the Facility’s Collections
Management Policy. Advance written approval from the depositing district is required for all requests
that would involve the consumptive use of all or part of a collection for research purposes. Any resulting
3
exhibit, papers or publications must be approved by the District(s) responsible for the collections used.
Copies of all reports, publications, project papers and research data generated from Corps data shall be
made available to the District(s).
D. Restrict access to associated records that contain information relating to the nature, location, or
character of the cultural resource(s) unless it has been determined by the Corps district that such
disclosure would not create a risk of harm, theft or destruction to the resource or its general location.
E. Remove all or part of a collection from the Facility’s premises upon written request of the depositing
district for the permanent transfer of the Corps collection to another curatorial facility. The
collection(s) to be transferred shall be documented and packaged in a manner that protects it from
breakage, loss, deterioration and contamination in conformance with 36 CFR 79. Transfer fees
quoted in the Uniform Price Schedule include costs for documenting the transfer and packaging.
F. Prohibit the sale of all or part of any Corps collection to any third party.
G. Notify the Division and the depositing Corps district within five days of the discovery of any loss or
theft, deterioration and damage, or destruction of the collection (or part thereof). Such an occurrence
will be subject to investigation by the district in accordance with 36 CFR 79.1 l(e)l.
H. Provide notices of actions that will involve the repair or restoration of any of the collections, which
must be approved in advance and in writing by the depositing district. Reports on any treatments,
including before and after photographs, shall be sent to the district.
I. Obtain written approval from the depositing district prior to loaning Corps-owned or managed artifacts,
documents or other materials to any other institution, individual or museum. Such loans may only
be made for educational, research, religious or display purposes through a formal written agreement
in accordance with 36 CFR 79 (subparagraph 10.e and Appendix C). In all instances, the Facility
shall provide the district with a copy of the loan agreement.
J. Direct any request for transfer or repatriation of Corps-owned or managed collections under the
NAGPRA to the depositing district.
K. Annually inspect the facilities and the collections, perform an inventory verifying the location of Corpsowned
or managed collections and provide the Corps with a brief letter report on the status and
condition of the collections. The inventory shall consist of inspection by drawer in General
Collections and Records, by shelf in Whole Vessels and Human Osteology, and by box in Bulk
Collections; the inventory is not to be an item by item listing of objects. The report shall briefly: 1)
identify any deterioration or damage of the collections observed during the inspection with
recommendations for remediation; 2) note any changes made to the facility or its management; 3) list
loans and users of collections; and 4) identify any reports, manuscripts, theses or dissertations
resulting from the use of Corps collections. (Deliverable 1)
L. Maintain adequate cost records for work conducted under this Agreement and to make such records
available for inspection upon request by Corps key officials or technical representatives.
M. Provide one-time relocation services of all material from the current federally approved curation facility
to the recipient’s facility, as needed. This move would be from the current facility housing the material
to the recipient’s facility and would not include currently uncurated materials. The materials must be
protected from damage from physical abuse, mishandling and adverse environmental conditions during
the move. The collection(s) to be transferred shall be documented and packaged in a manner that
protects it from breakage, loss, deterioration and contamination in conformance with 36 CFR 79.
