| Improving Conditions for the Jamestown Rediscovery Collection
Improvement of environmental conditions through
replacement of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and controls in
storage and display areas, and conversion to LED lighting in the museum. The two million artifacts in the archaeological
collection document one of the earliest colonial settlements in the New World and
would be rehoused and reorganized as part of the project.
The Jamestown Rediscovery
Foundation (Preservation Virginia), which is responsible for daily operations
at Historic Jamestowne, will undertake a two-year project to improve the
storage environment of its unparalleled archaeological collection. To this end,
outdated and inefficient Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
equipment and controls in three artifact storage and display areas will be
replaced with greener systems. The lighting in the archaeological museum will
be converted to LED lamps. The collection will be rehoused and reorganized to accommodate
a continually expanding assemblage of artifacts from archaeological excavations
and reduce the time needed to access materials. The project will allow JRF to
save energy and money whilst ensuring sustainable protection of this unique and
irreplaceable cultural heritage collection.
