Los Angeles County Museum of Art

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art will support a comprehensive inventory, rehousing, and reorganization of its prints and drawings collections to improve the current state of the collection, increase public access to the collection, and plan for the future. This project will address the problem of inadequate storage and housing; mitigate the threats to preservation; reduce the collection footprint through consolidation, reorganization, and rehousing of works; establish a unified organizational plan to improve access, diminish unnecessary handling, and reduce misfiling; increase the online presence of the collection; and help plan for a move off the museum campus. The museum will evaluate the project on a monthly basis, ensuring adherence to benchmarks, and at the conclusion of the project, a comprehensive report will be compiled, documenting the work completed, the total footprint of the collection, and the state of the storage.
