A preservation assessment of the artifact collection and the local history library related to the heritage of Rockland County, New York, since the late 18th century.

With funding from the NEH Preservation Assistance Grant, the Historical Society of Rockland County will use the services of Conservator Nelly Balloffet of Paper Star Assoc., Inc. to provide a general preservation assessment of the Library archival collections comprised of 10,000+ pieces. This survey will focus on both immediate preservation recommendations and recommendations for a proposed move of the library to a larger space.
