The purchase of an environmental monitor and related computer software and archival film supplies for six major still and moving images collections that cover life in central Appalachia since the 1930s.

Appalshop, Inc. proposes a grant for the purchase of environmental monitoring equipment and archival film supplies for its media vaults. The equipment and supplies will serve to enhance Appalshop’s archival vault development project and the long-term care and use of present and future holdings by allowing for precise measurements of the environmental conditions in the archival storage areas and by extending the life of the moving image materials that comprise the 16mm collections.
