	The Peabody Essex Museum, The Journal of Antiques & Collectibles, November 2001
		The past 200 years have brought exponential growth to the diversity and sheer number of museums, transforming them from isolated outposts of cultural preservation to common weekend destinations encompassing everything from art and history, to wildlife and popular culture.
		These questions don’t simply concern museum mission statements, they, in the case of historical/cultural museums such as the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, concern, in a larger sense, how a given culture defines its place, both geographically and historically.
		The Peabody Essex Museum has experienced firsthand the challenges that the last 200 years have brought and, throughout its history, has always succeeded in being a museum for its times, whatever time that may be.

		The breadth of the holdings therefore places this museum, along with several other large university institutions, in a situation where it is essential for staff to consult with tribes across the country.
		It becomes apparent that the museum's future relationship with tribes--whether that immediately mandated by NAGPRA or post-repatriation, allowing the full and appropriate use of the collections still housed in the museum--will be equally difficult to administer if the staff continue under the same extreme pressures as they do today.
		Even if the Peabody were to return half of the Native American collections, the balance still to be curated for North America and the rest of the world would be extremely large and there is nothing to prevent it from growing in a governed way.
