Measurable Outcome(s)

Yes, GVHS accomplished its three short-term and intermediate outcomes: 1) Short term: GVHS gained intellectual and physical control of its collections by inventorying 100% of the 451 objects, 1,695 archival units, and 92 library volumes. 2) Intermediate: GVHS gained better and more organized access to its existing collections documentation by inputting 100% of its 2,328 inventory records into a digital record of the current collections documentation. 3) GVHS is now better able to identify gaps in its collection, and the Collections Committee will discuss how to complete a SWOT analysis and develop a comprehensive collecting plan at its meeting in May 2017.
