The Roseau County Historical Society believes it achieved its desired outcomes by collaborating with the Midwest Art Conservation Center. Their expertise and responsiveness were key factors in this success. The center's team listened carefully to our concerns and goals, helping us shape a future-focused preservation strategy. This partnership ensured that our Long-Range Preservation Plan addressed immediate needs and set the stage for sustainable, long-term care of our collections. As a result, we feel confident that our efforts will preserve the museum's valuable artifacts and history for future generations.
