Mike, in addition to the suggestions already made (ALI-ABA and National Archaeological Database), here are some titles which may help with your inquiry about repatriation and other aspects of collections law: Tabah, Agnes. Native American Collections and Repatriation. Washington: American Association of Museums, c1993. Greenfield, Jeanette. The Return of Cultural Treasures. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1989. Malaro, Marie C. A Legal Primer on Managing Museum Collections. Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1985. Messenger, Phyllis Mauch, ed. Ethics of Collecting Cultural Property: Whose Culture? Whose Property? Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, c1989. Price, H. Marcus III. Disputing the Dead: U.S. Law on Aboriginal Remains and Grave Goods. Columbia, MO: University of Missouri Press, c1991. There are also various "code of ethics" documents which relate to the bases of collections law. Hope this is of use.
