Museum of Northern Arizona

The Museum of Northern Arizona will complete a new object condition assessment of its collections, redesign its environmental monitoring program to cover all collections display and storage areas, and update its preservation plan. These activities reflect the museum’s commitment to preserve collections as part of its public and tribal trust responsibilities. The museum will hire consultants in preventive conservation, preservation environments, and specialized conservation to assess collection conditions, and will purchase and install new data loggers to collect accurate environmental data in its collection areas. The project results will include an updated written preservation plan with short-, intermediate-, and long-range priorities to guide the museum’s future preservation efforts. The plan will be shared via the museum’s website, and behind-the-scenes collection tours will engage the public and members of local communities.
