The Clausen Memorial Museum is dedicated to preserving, interpreting and sharing the diverse histories of those who have lived and worked in Petersburg and the surrounding area. Established in 1968, the Clausen Memorial Museum is a private, non-profit corporation governed by a Board of Trustees. The museum’s collection includes 5,000 artifacts, 45,000 photographs and negatives, and 200 archival collections that span the history and pre-history of Petersburg and the surrounding area.


Photographs and fishing industry-related items are among the collection’s strengths. Other represented areas include Tlingit artifacts and art, logging and woodworking tools, domestic items, natural resource displays, an extensive rock collection, and artifacts documenting early 20th century businesses and societies.  In partnership with the Rasmuson Foundation Art Acquisition Fund, the museum also has an ever-expanding collection of regional, contemporary art works.


The museum’s goals are to increase public service–especially through partnerships with local schools and organizations–and to make contributions to local history scholarship as well as fostering education, understanding and appreciation of our complex human story.
