Roger Tory Peterson Institute

The Roger Tory Peterson Institute will purchase equipment to enhance preservation and access to the approximately 80 framed works of art in its collection. The Institute holds the largest collection of works by the artist-naturalist and creator of the well-known Peterson Field Guides. Informed by a 2022 Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) report, museum staff will purchase and install powder-coated cabinets and wall-mounted screens to store its framed artwork collection. Staff will also take the opportunity to photograph and complete condition reports for each piece as it is being rehoused. The project will result in improved preservation and access to the framed art in the collection and the creation of more functional space for collection care support activities.
