Twelve years after opening, the Panama Canal Museum (PCM) in Seminole, Florida closed on July 31, 2012 and made the decision to transfer their collections to George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida. Home to one of the largest and most respected Latin American and Caribbean repositories in the nation, the George A. Smathers Libraries are uniquely qualified to offer access to these collections, ensuring the museum's mission will live long into the future.
The Panama Canal Museum Collection (PCMC) in the Department of Special & Area Studies Collections (SASC) is the leading research collection for the study of the American era of the Panama Canal. The collection documents the U.S. experience in the Panama Canal Zone and in the country of Panama. To a lesser degree, the collection also preserves historical information about the Canal prior and subsequent to U.S. construction and operation. SASC preserves and provides access to the historically significant and distinctive materials in the collection in order to facilitate knowledge creation and dissemination. As a part of the Panama and The Canal project, the PCMC supports and advances the commitment of the George A. Smathers Libraries to excellence in education and research and contributes to the University of Florida’s standing as a preeminent public research university.
