Artifact Collection

Welcome to MOTAL's artifact collection. MOTAL has been fortunate to receive donations of a wide range of educational objects that enlighten young and old about the evolution of teaching and learning. In our collection are twenty groups highlighting the different types of artifacts. Click on this link Artifact Group and Index Page  to view our groups.  Volunteers have spent—and continue to spend—countless hours documenting and classifying the artifacts.

Click on the photo or bold name below of each of the artifacts and it will take you to the page that will give you a brief history, overview, donor information, and where you can learn more.  The smaller font below the name of the artifact is the group name.  You can click on the group name to see what artifacts are grouped together.

Artifact of the Month
Each month we will feature another artifact from our collection. If it intrigues you enough to want to touch and feel it—use it!—yourself, or have us bring some artifacts to your event, please contact us to schedule an appointment at 1111 E. Commonwealth, Unit C, Fullerton, CA 92831.
Click Here to go to our Artifact of the Month Page.


You will want to check our website often for we will be adding more artifacts as time goes on!
