Verde Valley Archaeology Center

Verde Valley Archaeology Center (VVAC) will improve the storage environment and care for the Paul Dyck Foundation Collection, while also improving access to the artifacts. VVAC will acquire recommended conservation items and tools as suggested by the center's 2014 conservation assessment of its facilities, policies, and practices in the conservation of artifacts and museum management. The VVAC established the Collection Stewardship Project to sustain the care, management, and conservation of the collection and contribute to the long-term preservation of materials entrusted to the VVAC's care. The center will use the purchase of the recommended conservation items and tools to enhance the care and monitoring of the VVAC's collection and environment. After the requested items are purchased, a standing committee will continually monitor the care of the collection and recommend any additional or updated tools or supplies needed.
