Seward House Museum

Purchase of Furniture to Continue Upgrade of Seward House Museum Collections Storage [this Grant Would Support the Purchase of More Upgraded Storage Solutions for the Seward House Museum (SHM) to Continue Fulfilling Collections Safety in Direct Accordance With Our Facilities Master Plan, Our 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, Our Conservation Assessment Plan (cap), and With Current Industry Standards. Funds From Neh?s Preservation Assistance Grant Would Allow the SHM to Continue to Upgrade From Its Current Shelving Units to Enclosed And/or More Secure Cabinets to Better Protect Collections Objects Not on Display. as Recommended by Our Cap Report, Long-range Collections Storage Will Always Be a Priority and the Current Set-up Poses a Multitude of Dangers and Risks to the Objects. the SHM Is Not Currently Temperature or Humidity Regulated via an Hvac Unit, So Therefore the Museum Must Focus on Other Methods of Mitigation for the Collection. the New Director of Collections and Exhibitions (DCE) Will Purchase Additional Archival Furniture and Install Six New Cabinets in the Curren]
