National Museum of Forest Service History

The National Museum of Forest Service History will install storage cabinetry, environmental controls, and physical security systems in its new National Conservation Legacy Center, which has a dedicated space designed to ensure preservation of the collection. The museum’s 50,000 item collection includes artifacts, letters, reports, maps, photographs, tools, instruments and published books that relate to the history of the National Forest Service. Project activities will include the installation of a new HVAC system and microclimate generators, fire detection and suppression systems, a security and video surveillance system, and a space saving collection storage system. The project will result in significantly improved storage conditions for the museum’s collections.
