AAPS Bringing together Diverse Pieces of the Ancient American Puzzle

Beginnings

AAAPF was founded in 2001, in the sate of Utah. 
(Please note that any donations you may have made to AAAPF in the past, are legally deductible as a tax exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and any further donations made to AAPS are deductible as well.)
Reformed March 2008 in the State of Michigan under the name AAPS- Ancient Artifact Preservation Society.
Our mission is to provide an internationally recognized Ancient American Culture Center to house and study diverse data and artifacts that support all facets of possible proof of visitation, habitation, and commerce in Pre-Columbian America.

AAAPF Board members reside in the Great Lakes area. Advisors, who are expertise in various areas, are scattered about the Midwest. Members-at-large are welcomed from anywhere in the world.

Goal
Our goal is to construct  an Ancient American Culture Museum in  Michigan's Upper Peninsula, an area where there is substantial evidence of ancient copper mining and Norse/Viking presence. Certainly there are fascinating evidences all over the Americas, and this data is highly welcomed as well. This would include the purchase of the largest chunk of float copper known in the world...over 40 tons. We have made our our down payment of $10,000, and need to raise now, $340,000 for the balance. This includes 40 acres of land...plenty large enough for the museum, library,  and eventual conference center.

Networking
Part of our goal to build networks and exchange of information is to sponsor and host an annual (or semi-annual) International Conference on Ancient America. The first in Big Bay Michigan, October 7-9th, 2005, the second, Oct.6-8th, 2006. A small registration fee began to add to the pot which holds our dream for the Ancient American Culture Center. This website and Virtual Museum  brings reality  to the dream of building a world-wide network of sharing knowledge, discoveries and exhibiting photos of artifacts, putting pieces out on the table to ultimately fit together into meaningful pictures.

Copper Trail
We have a plan in it's beginning action, to create a COPPER TRAIL linking sites along ancient copper routes. To enlist the participation of townspeople and politicians, state and Federal Parks departments...anyone who can help illuminate this worthy, historical, educational goal.
