Regional Preservation Field Services Program
A regional preservation field service program
that strengthens preservation practices and the care of humanities collections
at hundreds of museums, historical organizations, libraries, and archives in
five states of the Upper Midwest. Activities include training workshops,
disaster response services, preservation needs assessments and surveys, the
loan of environmental monitoring equipment, and information and outreach
services. In all, the project would support more than twenty workshops reaching
hundreds of staff members at over 400 cultural heritage institutions in the
Midwest. The award would additionally support training for two Native American conservation
fellows as part of its Native American Collections Care Fellowship Program,
which began in 2018.
The Midwest Art Conservation
Center (MACC) requests continued funding for its Regional Preservation Field
Service Program (Preventive Conservation). This program strengthens the
preservation practices and collections care at cultural repositories in the
Upper Midwest resulting in increased public access. During the proposed NEH
grant period (3/2020-2/2022), the Preventive Conservation program will improve
the preservation practices at hundreds of institutions by providing:
collections care and preservation related workshops; disaster planning,
training and response services; preservation surveys and plans; collections
care information; grant preparation assistance; and other related collection
care improvement services. The program has demonstrated successful outcomes and
measurable results, keeps its programming accessible to even the smallest
institutions in the region, is staffed by knowledgeable conservators and
preservation experts, and is devoted to this region’s collections.
