The Teti Library serves as a regional art library for academic institutions and the general public.
New Hampshire Institute of Art's Teti Library is seeking funding to support a general preservation assessment of the main library, Special Collections and Institute archives. This funding will support a site visit conducted by a Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) consultant who will assess facility issues, library policy, and material condition and housing. The consultant will create a written report that will help the library prepare a short-, medium-, and long-term preservation plan for the collections. Using this information as a point of departure, the library will prepare a formal preservation policy and conduct materials re-housing and other preservation measures as prescribed by the consultant. |
