Greetings! This Guide will give some advice that both new and experienced collectors of kachina dolls (katsinas, or katsin-tihu in Hopi) may find helpful. I'll discuss how best to display your collection, and how to care for it. Advice from experts in museum collection management will also help you understand how institutions maintain their own kachinas. Some traditional knowledge from the Hopi carvers I've spoken with will also add some insight. Please read through and let me know if this guide was helpful for you with a yes or no vote at the end.
