Donor Doubles the Size of UB's Archaeological Collection

Annette Cravens

Annette Cravens, MSW, '68 has donated her multimillion dollar collection of archaeological and ethnographic objects-dating as far back as 4,500 B.C.-to the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences.

The 1,100-piece collection-which has nearly doubled the university's collection-was amassed by Annette during her more than 40 years of engagement around the globe, often with her husband. She also provided funding so that the collection will be accessible to UB students, Buffalo Public Schools students, scholars and the community.
