Ah-tah-thi-ki Museum

The Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum’s various collections exist to serve as a repository for all archival and artifactual items related to the Seminole Tribe and, more generally speaking, to the Native American populations of the Southeastern United States. Collections owned by the museum include a multitude of different archival and artifact items. While this online portal features postcards and baskets exclusively, the Museum’s on-site holdings include historical newspapers, manuscripts, patchwork clothing, dolls, militaria and various pieces of ephemera produced during the early 1900s.
One of the museum’s primary goals is to serve as a center of research for Seminole culture and Native American history in the Southeastern United States. Some of the items currently available for research by scholars and the general public are the following: Approximately 1000 government documents, dating from the early 1800s to the mid 1900s, covering 60 Native American tribes; an extensive newspaper collection, dating from the early 1800s, that contains information regarding Indian removal, the Seminole Wars, and Indian-White relations; and over 700 photos, dating from 1939 to 1967, documenting the time Ethel Cutler Freeman spent studying the Seminole culture.
