Abstract: Thank you to the National Endowment of the Humanities for our NEH Preservation Assistance Grant that will fund new flat file storage at DMC. According to a 2010 General Conservation Assessment—along with the museum's first Museum Assessment Program report in 2020—the DMC was strongly encouraged to expand storage for care and access. New equipment will enable the DMC to alleviate overcrowding for some of its core paper and photography collections, and provide dedicated space for critical collections management tasks. The collection directly supports teaching and programming initiatives at Northwestern Michigan College, along with exhibitions and programs for over 62,000 general visitors each year.
This year, the NEH Preservation Assistance Grants will help 65 small and mid-sized museums, libraries, historical societies, and archival repositories improve their ability to care for significant humanities collections.
