The University Galleries steward several distinct collections: original prints, photographs, and Native American art and material culture. Taken together these collections comprise roughly 6000 unique objects, from lithic tools to contemporary works of art. Our goal is to make these objects available to the USD community for study, research, discussion, and personal enjoyment.
Search the Collections
Students can use objects for research, class projects or independent study. Faculty can use objects for their own research, or find artworks that enhance their course curriculum. Professors are invited to bring classes into the Print Study Room or May Collection to view a custom set of selected objects with their students.
