University of Utah (University of Utah, J. Willard Marriott Library)

The University of Utah’s Marriott Library will oversee a project designed to responsibly improve the long-term care of Utah's material culture. Coordinated with six partners among Utah’s community of libraries, archives, and museums, the project will develop and implement the state's first formal preservation assessment. In keeping with the findings of the Heritage Health Index, the results from this survey will be disseminated through four preservation forums held in strategic geographic locations. These forums will present an opportunity to improve preservation education opportunities statewide, and will help in the development of plans to improve preservation funding.
