The Education Collection is an artificial collection of artifacts and memorabilia maintained for use in exhibits, instruction, and other teaching purposes. Items in this collection may be reproductions or period artifacts, but lack documentation or significance, or duplicate objects already represented in the University Archives Artifact Collection (UA 13) and the Manuscripts Artifact Collection (Mss 1.03). Items in this collection are intentionally used in exhibits or instruction with the understanding that this will shorten the life of the objects.
