San Diego Historical Society

The San Diego Historical Society will hire a team of consultants to provide an overall survey of the entire collection, including three historic structures—the Villa Montezuma (1887), the Marston House (1905), and the Serra Museum (1929)—as well as perform an overview assessment of the paintings, works on paper, and archival materials held in these structures. The survey will gather information on all aspects of the facilities and operations that affect the care and management of the historical society’s holdings. The General Survey and Long-range Preservation Plan that will result from the project will enable the historical society to develop a rigorous program for addressing institutional conservation needs and will ensure proper stewardship of the collections for the future.
