A preservation assessment of the archival records, photographs, newspapers, manuscripts, artwork, and memorabilia of Vermont Technical College and several related educational institutions in the surrounding community. Collectively, these materials at the Hartness Library provide information about the history of education in New England from the early 19th century to the present.

Hartness Library serving Vermont Technical College and the Community College of Vermont is seeking funding in the form of a $5,164 grant for a NEDCC (Northeast Document Conservation Center) consultant to complete a General Preservation Planning Survey. This survey will assist us in identifying potential hazards to our collection, prioritize needs, and identify the steps necessary to ensure adequate preservation actions for long term development, protection and conservation of this collection.
