The purchase of 15 shelving units and preservation supplies to protect the collections at Glessner House Museum, home to John J. Glessner (1843–1936), a vice president of International Harvester, and designed by architect Henry Hobson Richardson in 1887.

This project will reorganize, update, and expand the current collections storage areas of the museum, thereby improving the environment in which the collections are maintained, and making them more easily accessible for research, educational outreach, and public programming.
