An assessment of preservation needs and development of recommendations for use of building space at the Brush Art Gallery. Within the wide-ranging collection of over 7,000 objects, photography is a particular strength. These images  range from works by American masters to those by amateurs in a series on American G.I.’s and nurses during the Vietnam War. The photography collection was begun by Michael Hoffman, founder of the Aperture Foundation and a graduate of St. Lawrence University.

The Richard F. Brush Art Gallery (Gallery) at St. Lawrence University (SLU) seeks a specialist to provide a Preservation Needs Assessment and Space Specifications Report in order to update previous assessment reports, comply with current best practices, and lay the groundwork for future facilities planning.
