Museum to participate in conservation program
Posted: November 1, 2011
The Museum of Osteopathic MedicineSM has been chosen to participate in the 2011 Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) and joins 2,600 museums that have participated in CAP in its 21-year history of serving small museums.
CAP will provide a general conservation assessment of the museum’s collections, and a professional conservator will spend two days surveying the site before preparing a comprehensive report identifying conservation priorities. The onsite consultation will enable the museum to evaluate its current collections’ care policies, procedures, and environmental conditions. The assessment report will help the museum make appropriate improvements for the immediate, mid-range, and long-range care of its collections.
“The museum has worked toward this professional review for almost 14 years since its last evaluation and is confident that the work accomplished will be evident in the new CAP report,” said Museum Director Jason Haxton.
