About I Sagan Fandipositon Kotturåt Guåhan

Sagan Fandipositon Kotturåt Guåhan, or the Guam Cultural Repository, houses and cares for our island's treasured cultural and historical artifacts and associated records. We are dedicated to the preservation, conversation and repatriation of Guåhan's cultural and material heritage, artifacts, and archaeological collections and history.  
 
A joint program of the University of Guam (UOG) and the Department of Chamorro Affairs (DCA), I Sagan Fandipositon Kotturåt Guåhan provides Code of Federal Regulations-compliant curatorial services and back-of-house research operations for the Guam Museum. At the same time, it works alongside UOG's Micronesian Area Research Center to serve as a leading educational and research facility for cultural scholars and practitioners in the region interested in Guåhan's tangible and intangible heritage.  
 
Many of the archaeological collections placed at I Sagan Fandipositon Kotturåt Guåhan have been displaced or removed owing to large-scale developments among other impacts caused by militarization, tourism, and other construction projects in Guåhan. I Sagan Fandipositon Kotturåt Guåhan strongly supports preservation in situ (in place), however, through which a better understanding and respect of Guåhan's special cultural and historical landscape can be realized for the people of Guåhan and future generations.
