Since 2006, large and small teams of GRASAC researchers have had the privilege of travelling to study thousands of wonderful Great Lakes items, belongings and beings at a number of cultural repositories around the world. Below is a list of some of the institutions GRASAC research teams have visited. We are grateful to all of the wonderful staff members at these institutions who have facilitated these research trips!
