A general preservation assessment of the collections of the American Baptist Historical Society, which include organizational archives and personal papers, as well a library of approximately 50,000 volumes dating from the 16th century to the present. 

The American Baptist Historical Society moved to its current location in 2008, when archival storage space was renovated to its specifications. Fourteen years later a general preservation assessment is needed to help ABHS know how to improve current conditions and serve as the initial step toward planning and preparing additional space for future accessions.
