The National Treasures Department of the Israel Antiquities Authority is responsible for the housing, documentation and control of antiquities in Israel.

The National Treasures' collections house hundreds of thousands of artifacts that range from prehistoric periods to the end of the Ottoman period.

The artifacts are arranged both chronologically (according to archaeological periods) and typologically (according to the type of artifact). Each artifact’s information card presents detailed archaeological data about the selected artifact, including provenance, type, dimensions, material, site where discovered, dating and bibliography. In addition, hi-resolution images of artifacts may be purchased from the photographic archives of the Israel Antiquities Authority.

The online site offers a selection of published artifacts from the collections of the National Treasures and is available for researchers, curators, students and the general public in. The site is updated continuously, and new artifacts are added on a regular basis.
