Haines Sheldon Museum Staff

FY22 Institutional Changes

For many years the Haines Sheldon Museum was a component unit of Haines Borough, and “museum employees” were actually borough employees. That changed in 2021 and the museum board of directors now has managerial control over staff. Our relationship with the Haines Borough remains very important. The borough owns and maintains the museum building and has provided support for payroll and insurance for over 30 years. 

Haines Sheldon Museum remains committed to our mission of–collecting, preserving and interpreting the history, art and unique blending of diverse cultures within the Chilkat Valley region. We continue to safeguard the museum collection while promoting the history and culture of Haines through our educational programs.

We thank you for your patience during this transition. Gunalchéesh!
