Purchase and Installation of Shelving and Storage Furniture for Historical Society Archive
The purchase of shelving and storage cabinets to house the institution's photographic holdings and family history collections. These materials document Jewish life in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota and have been used in exhibitions and publications that have reached national audiences.
The project calls for the purchase of mobile shelving units and museum-quality storage furniture for an historical photograph collection and records collection. Project preparation includes re-boxing of materials and photo collection sleeving. Shelving and cabinetry will be assembled on site and installed in the archive space. Collection will be moved into new shelving and cabinetry by staff and volunteers.
