Saginaw Valley State University (Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum, Saginaw Valley State University)

The Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum at Saginaw Valley State University will use its IMLS award to complete the processing, cataloging, and digitization of its archival collection to provide a searchable, metadata-driven online digital library. The project will ensure that scholars and researchers will have access to information that spans the 70 years of Marshall Fredericks’ sculpting career, which will provide ample opportunities for research and interpretation of one of America’s most prolific monumental sculptors. Completion of the project activities will increase the Museum’s capacity to improve the management of its collection to better serve the public, to celebrate the artistic legacy of Marshall M. Fredericks, and to foster appreciation of artistic expression for the educational and cultural enrichment of the community.
