MUSEUM RECEIVES NEH PRESERVATION ASSISTANCE GRANT
The Museum received a NEH Preservation Assistance
Grant to support the purchase of data loggers to monitor
temperature and relative humidity in the Museum and its
storage areas. A team of environmental consultants will use
this data to develop conceptual improvement alternatives
of the HVAC systems, controls and building enclosure, in
order to establish appropriate conservation environments
for the collection. The results of this study will identify a
systematic path forward to defining the most effective and
efficient planning and implementation process for long
term improvements and establishment of a high quality
conservation environment for the Museum.
