The purchase of equipment for environmental monitoring in the Molly Brown House Museum, where a 10,000-item collection of art, artifacts, and archives is used to interpret the life of Molly Brown (1867-1932) and her interests in philanthropy, women's rights, and social reform. Twenty percent of the collection, which includes furniture, silver, glass, textiles, and fine art, was owned by Brown and her family. Other materials in the house are representative of the years of Brown's life.

This project focuses on the Molly Brown House Museum improving overall environmental monitoring in the museum.
