Southern Illinois University (University Museum)

The University Museum at Southern Illinois University will improve the stewardship of its collections and inventory approximately 11,000 objects from the South and Central American collections, American History collections, and 3-dimensional contemporary artwork collections. Informed by a Museum Assessment Program (MAP) report and previous IMLS awards, museum staff will receive training in collections care and conduct data entry to improve the accuracy of collection information. During the inventory process, staff will condition report, complete digital photographic documentation, and improve basic storage stabilization.
