Even those who have not participated earlier may participate during the senior year and thus have the opportunity to work on a senior project. The Anthro Club is a group of anthropology concentrators who meet on a regular basis for a variety of activities. The library has a basic collection of anthropology books in all the subdisciplines as well as a collection of professional journals. It is open to all students enrolled in anthropology classes and faculty of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Often professors will put class materials on reserve in this library.
Hours vary from semester to semester.
Other sections of interest to anthropology students include a Mammalogy Library on living primates and a Paleontology Library containing works on fossil primates. These are housed on the second floor of the A. G. Ruthven Museum. The Museum of Anthropology is a University unit separate from the Department and is administered by the Director of the Museum. There is close collaboration between the Museum of Anthropology and the Department of Anthropology. All members of the curatorial staff of the Museum offer instruction through, and hold academic appointments in, the Department of Anthropology.
