College of Micronesia

The College of Micronesia-FSM, in partnership with the Rose Mackwelung Library, Chuuk Association of Libraries, members of Libraries, Archives, and Museums of Pohnpei, and Yap State Library Association, will conduct the first-ever survey of the four states that comprise the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap). While each survey is tailored to the needs of the individual state, they will provide an opportunity to gather baseline data on collections care efforts across Micronesia. The surveys will identify heritage collections at highest risk, assess condition of collections, and identify training needs to assist staff in developing disaster plans for these diverse and varied collections.
