For Kentucky it would be the William S. Webb Museum of Anthropology, at
the University of Kentucky's Department of Anthropology, Lexington. I'd
suggest narrowing down your interests to a specific geographic location,
time period, and topic before proceeding much further. That will help
you select which curation facility (or even university) you may wish to
utilize to pursue your interest and degree. 

Good luck,

Jason,

Many of these are stored at museums in the Southeast. I did my thesis on
a
WPA site, and the artifacts, field notes, maps, etc. were archived at
the
McClung Museum at UT Knoxville. There should also be artifacts in
Alabama
(Tuscaloosa, I believe) and Kentucky (can't remember which
university/city),
at the very least.

The staff at McClung were extremely helpful, and I made a few trips over
there to copy notes and examine artifacts. You will find that sometimes
only
the artifacts are left...no notes or maps or anything. But I was
pleasantly
surprised at how much was available for my site.

Good luck! I think this is a worthy project and am excited that someone
else
is interested in reporting these sites.

Sincerely,
