Money must be distributed through a competitive grant process.

Our fifteen most vulnerable textiles and all our rolled textiles are now rehoused appropriately and to industry standards. This project has immediately improved their storage conditions and helped assure they are stable until conservation treatment can be carried out on them. All targets were achieved. Collections Manager Lisa Vedaa is qualified to carry out the specific steps of the project.
