The academy bills it as "one of the nation's major repositories of Native American archaeological collections."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.andover.edu/MUSEUMS/MUSEUMOFARCHAEOLOGY/Pages/default.aspx |title=Phillips Academy - The Robert S.

The collection includes materials from the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Mexico and the Arctic, and range from Paleo Indian (more than 10,000 years ago) to the present day. Since the early 1990s, the museum has been at the forefront of compliance with the [[Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2008}}
