The Burke Museum Association supports the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, a research- and collections-based institution in Seattle that serves a broad audience including state residents, visitors, educators, Indigenous and Pacific communities, researchers, and enthusiasts. The museum houses a vast and growing collection of objects used for education and research, with a mandate to recognize Indigenous lands and collaborate with Native communities to share knowledge and learning opportunities from the collections. Founded in 1885 and designated the State Museum in 1899, it operates within the University of Washington College of Arts & Sciences, reflecting its status as a public geoscience and cultural resource with a strong scholarly orientation. The Burke Museum Association, a separate nonprofit, strengthens the museum’s visibility and community connections, coordinating public engagement and fundraising efforts to support its programs and collections. A recent collaboration highlighted in local media indicates ongoing partnerships that expand access, such as free admission events tied to community partners.
