Michigan State University (Michigan State University Museum)

The Michigan State University Museum will purchase archivally stable storage materials, museum-quality cabinets, and a mobile storage system to create appropriate storage for an 827-box prehistoric and historic archaeological collection to ensure its safety and that of its users and to provide capacity for future collection expansion. Museum staff and one paid student position will work with student interns from the university’s museum studies and anthropology programs to complete the rehousing, using methods and materials approved by a consulting conservator. The rehousing project will facilitate access by faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars who regularly use the collections.
