Historic Cherry Hill

Historic Cherry Hill (HCH), in partnership with the Upstate History Alliance (UHA), will share knowledge and expertise with small history museums and historic sites in the region to help them protect and preserve their collections. HCH will present a series of six workshops on techniques and procedures that can be used to protect valuable and fragile collection objects from damage caused by insect pests and other vermin. Special emphasis will be placed on procedures that are feasible for small institutions. UHA will assist with promoting the workshops and identifying both paid and volunteer staff at regional institutions to participate in the program. The project will also include the creation of a comprehensive teaching aid on CD that will be widely accessible to the staffs of small institutions that are caring for the rich heritage of the region with limited resources.
