Hanford Mills Museum

Hanford Mills Museum will improve the management of their collections by organizing multiple storage areas, conducting the Site's first full inventory, verifying and documenting key data related to electronic object records, and implementing housekeeping activities. This project directly benefits the long- and short-term care of the museum's collections. The main project goals are to improve the management of artifact collections and to use the data gathered through the project to begin evaluating the space needs for a new collections facility. More broadly, the museum aims to move towards better collections management and care so that objects can be more effectively preserved, and so that staff can provide greater public access to items and use objects and their related records more effectively in interpretation and programming.
