The purchase of shelving and supplies for the storage of Civil War holdings and materials that document the history of Peaks Island from the mid-1700s to the present. Three recently acquired collections of photographs, uniforms, weapons, equipment, household artifacts, and archival materials will be rehoused in a newly created storage room.

The Fifth Maine Regiment Museum has created a new, improved collection storage room large enough to house the entire existing collection and some amount of future acquisitions. This project is designed to purchase additional shelving to supplement existing shelving and archival materials to house items acquired in the past year that have not yet been placed in archival boxes.
