This exploration of the amateur history and archaeological organization, the Quivira Society, was a semester-long KSU intern project involving a museum collection of rich primary sources, Indian artifacts, and publications. Although accessioned, the Quivira Collection had never been inventoried nor explored in-depth. This project provides an understanding of the society founders, goals, and accomplishments during the short time it was active. A full inventory of the Quivira Collection is available at the Wabaunsee County Historical Society, Alma, Kansas.
