Ohio Wesleyan University (Richard M. Ross Art Museum)

The Richard M. Ross Art Museum at Ohio Wesleyan University will undertake the professional conservation of 31 prints in its permanent teaching collection. Contracted conservators will pack the prints on campus, then transport them to a conservation lab. Informed by a previous Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) report, conservators will clean, stabilize, and rehouse the prints before returning them to the museum. Museum staff will record conservation treatments in the collections management database. The project will result in stabilized prints that can be used for exhibition and educational purposes in service to the campus community of students, faculty, and researchers, as well as regional audiences.
