Purchasing Storage Furniture to Rehouse and Make Collections Accessible
An implementation project to purchase storage furniture and environmental and light monitoring equipment to preserve library and artifact collections on the history and culture of Czech and Slovak immigrants and their descendants in the United States.
The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library (NCSML) seeks NEH support in the preservation of its humanities collections following a natural disaster by purchasing and installing new storage furniture and environmental and light monitoring equipment, creation of an Integrated Pest Management System, moving the artifact and library collections to a new museum and library currently under construction, and restoring and updating documentation and cataloging of the artifact and library collections.
