Chippewa Valley Museum

The Chippewa Valley Museum will use grant funds to purchase and install high-density, compact storage cabinets and shelving for larger artifacts and oversized photographs and documents. The rehousing project will allow the museum better access to these objects for exhibit and research and will improve long-term care of the museum’s regional collection of 19,513 artifacts, 25,760 photographs, and documents that place regional stories in the context of national events. To share the results of the project, the museum will feature artifacts benefitting from the project in presentations and small, object-specific exhibits; highlight the project on its Web site, and share information with nearby historical organizations.
