Harberg Exhibit

The Reverend Thorlief Harberg and wife Elsie Johnson Harberg were in Kwigillingok and Bethel from 1937 to 1941.  The Reverend was a Moravian Missionary.  The collection includes ivory, clothing, photographs, and miniature objects collected while they were in Alaska.

The collection includes nearly 500 photos, ethnographic materials, and objects. Their children, Kristen Van Orden and Charles Harberg, donated the collection to the museum in memory of their parents.

This exhibit will be at the museum from August 4 to September 19, 2008.
