Treasured objects and artifacts held by the Society will be preserved for future generations with help from the
IMLS Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, a core set of conservation books and online resources donated by the
Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). IMLS has now awarded almost 3,000 free sets of the IMLS Bookshelf, in cooperation with the
American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).
The Society did not have any current materials related to conservation, preservation and storage of our collections, and these books will greatly aid us as we seek to better house and police our items.
“When IMLS launched this initiative to improve the dire state of our nation’s collections, we understood that the materials gathered for the Bookshelf would serve as important tools for museums, libraries, and archives nationwide,” said Anne-Imelda Radice, Director of IMLS. “We were both pleased and encouraged by the overwhelming interest of institutions prepared to answer the call to action, and we know that with their dedication, artifacts from our shared history will be preserved for future generations.”
