News From The Center
Treasured objects and artifacts in the community and held by the Center for Public History will be preserved for future generations with help from the Institute of Museum and Library Services “Connecting to Collections Bookshelf,” a core set of conservation books and online resources donated by the IMLS.
The Center for Public History received the set of resources based on a grant application written by former acting assistant director Sandy Pollard. IMLS has now awarded almost 3,000 free sets of the IMLS Bookshelf, in cooperation with the American Association for State and Local History.
The Bookshelf provides support and direction for a wide variety of collections from historic photographs and archival materials that might be saved for family history to artifacts ranging from furniture to glass or ceramics.
