Measurable Outcome(s)

Short Term: Achieved. Project Director has ascertained that all uniforms not on display have been packed and placed in textile boxes on shelves on storage units in Storeroom 2.
Intermediate: In progress. Rotation Plan is being developed at this time. All uniforms in inventory are listed on an Excel spreadsheet, with Object ID number, name of military personnel who wore the uniforms, a brief description of what is included for that person's uniform components, and a column for the rotation cycle number to be assigned. This is a work currently in progress due to need for further consideration by Inventory and Accession team members prior to designation of the cycle for display. A copy of the contents assembled thus far on the spreadsheet is attached for review. PCHS's I/A team will endeavor to be sure to display a sampling of uniforms from servicemen and women from areas throughout Pine County, rather than have too many from one area on display at a time, so a column has been added to list their hometown on the spreadsheet as well.
Long Term: Ongoing. As a trial, team members who needed to search for a specific garment last week, were able to go to location specified, which was a shelf on a Storage Unit, and pull out the correct box. Item was found to be in unchanged condition from when it was packed in the box.
