The purchase of archival supplies and environmental monitoring equipment to preserve archival collections documenting the work of furniture designer, master woodworker, and architect George Nakashima (1905-1990).

The Nakashima Foundation for Peace is requesting funds through the Preservation Assistance Grant to assist in the preservation of the Nakashima Archives collection housed on the Nakashima complex in New Hope, Pennsylvania. As recommended by a Preservation Needs Assessment Report produced by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Archives, funds will be used to purchase archival supplies and updated environmental monitoring equipment such as acid-free, archival boxes, folders, sleeves, HOBO dataloggers, and other materials to properly rehouse and preserve collections.
