Preservation Assessment and Planning for Textile Collections
A preservation assessment and the acquisition of environmental monitoring equipment and other supplies leading to the development of a long-range plan to preserve a permanent collection of 830 quilts, items of clothing, and other textiles, including materials from North America, Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles seeks a NEH Preservation Assistance Grant to 1) undertake an overall preservation assessment of the Museum’s permanent collection; 2) develop a long-range plan for collections preservation; 3) purchase environmental monitoring equipment; and 4) train staff and volunteers in the use of new equipment.
