Oregon Museums Association

The Oregon Museums Association will partner with seven organizations to identify the preservation needs of the state’s libraries, museums, and archives. After conducting a survey, evaluating the information, and staging regional forums, leaders of the state's cultural organizations will collaboratively create a statewide preservation plan addressing the recommendations of the Heritage Health Index. This plan will address the need for more workers trained in collections care and emergency preparedness, outline steps to improve the quality of collections care throughout the state, and raise awareness of and generate support for the preservation needs of the state's cultural collections among the public and decision makers.
