The collection focuses on people, places, and events in western Montana.
Grant support would allow the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library at The University of Montana-Missoula to bring a well-qualified consultant to Missoula to perform an on-site assessment of the conservation needs of the library's historic image collections. The consultant would then provide a written report that would serve as the cornerstone for plans to improve storage conditions and perform (in-house or outsourced) conservation work for the still image collection housed within the Mansfield Library's Archives and Special Collections Department. |
