Montana State Library, Natural Resource Information System

The Montana State Library, in partnership with the Montana Historical Society, will assess the status of cultural heritage collections in the state and develop recommendations to ensure the ongoing preservation of these collections. The partners will work as part of an eight-member task force to develop and implement a statewide online survey to collect data from Montana’s cultural institutions; provide basic preservation training at five locations around the state and through a webinar; analyze the survey data to develop recommendations for actions needed to preserve Montana’s cultural heritage; and create a brochure that identifies statewide preservation priorities to be disseminated to cultural institutions, state legislators, and other key supporters.
