The pace of investigations has skyrocketed in the past 30 years, and shows no sign of slowing down. Excavation has resulted in the collection of millions of scientifically important archaeological, paleontological and historical objects. Most of these objects, plus the maps, photographs, and other records associated with them, are housed and maintained in repositories, where they are the ongoing subjects of scientific study and public interpretation. The BLM itself operates three such repositories, the Anasazi Heritage Center, the Billings Curation Center, and the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. The bulk of collections from the public lands are located in more than 155 public and private facilities, which house, preserve, document, research, interpret, and exhibit the material on behalf of all Americans. <a href="http://www.usbr.gov/museumproperty/">Bureau of Reclamation:</a> Museum collections held by Reclamation consist primarily of archaeological objects and their associated records, but also include natural history specimens, historic objects, documents, art, photographs, and ethnographic items.
