Eureka Springs Historical Museum Inc. is an independent non-profit organization. Our mission is to collect, preserve, document, and exhibit objects of historical significance to the city of Eureka Springs, and to present them in such a manner as to educate and inspire residents and visitors alike. This project would support the purchase of environmental monitoring equipment (data loggers) and UV filtering treatment of the windows in the Museum archives, processing, and exhibition spaces, in accordance with Priority One recommendations made in a Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) Survey completed on August 9, 2005. Additional funds are also being requested to receive consulting services from professional archival photographer Edward C. Robison III, to train Museum staff on digitization best practices, and to serve as advisor in the overall design, construction, and equipment configuration of a photo studio in the Museum processing room.
