The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded the Adams Museum and House a grant of $5,997.00.
Funding will support an on-site consultation with a paper conservator who will examine historic photographs, maps, drawings and documents from the organization’s archival collections. The consultation will consist of a general assessment of the condition of the documents, including recommendations on how to safely access, store and digitize the materials.
In addition, the conservator will conduct a workshop for area museum, library and archive professionals on current conservation practices used in the care and handling of archival materials.
As part of the NEH-sponsored We the People initiative, the Adams House and Museum’s project fulfills the agency’s goal to encourage and strengthen the teaching, study and understanding of American history and culture. The NEH is an independent grant-making agency of the United States government dedicated to supporting research, education, preservation and public programs in the humanities.
