The human remains and associated funerary objects listed in this notice were incorporated into what became known as the ‘‘Hubbs Collection.’’ In 1973, Dr. Hubbs bequeathed the Hubbs Collection to the Museum of Us (formerly the San Diego Museum of Man).

In June of 2020, the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) became aware of the Hubbs Collection and, in December 2020, given the scope of the collection and complexities related to provenance, UCSD, MoU, and USD reached an agreement to work together to facilitate NAGPRA compliance.
