This museum is a private facility run by a Board of Trustees . This hires a director - currently (as of 2020) this is Cindi Lagoudakis - and part-time employees during the summer season. The collection ranges from prehistory through the Tlingit culture to the present day and includes 5,000 artifacts , 45,000 photographs and 200 archival collections. The latter come mainly from the fishing industry, but also from logging and home decor. The former represent the indigenous cultures, for example in the form of canoes, fish traps, halibut hooks, tools or baskets.
