The retention of six full-time staff members and the creation of a seventh position to catalogue, digitize, and interpret over 2,600 archival and art items documenting the art collection of James Deering and his estate. 

The proposed project will provide emergency relief to the applicant to enable it to maintain and hire humanities positions that are in jeopardy as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. The proposed activities are short-term projects that emphasize retaining and hiring humanities staff in the applicant's Collections & Curatorial Affairs Department to make archival records and collections objects available to the public.
