Michigan State University (Michigan State University Museum)

The Michigan State University Museum will use grant funds to purchase and install high-density storage furniture and supplies for five newly acquired collections. These collections include the Alice Griswold weaving history collection, the Cuesta Benberry collection of African American quilts, a collection of ralli quilts from India, Mexican masks, and a collection of letters of Rosa Parks. Staff and student interns will move and rehouse these collections over a two-year period. The improved storage conditions will allow better long-term care of the collections and improved access to the collections by staff and researchers, as well as increased access for the public through exhibitions.
