Fort Ticonderoga

Fort Ticonderoga Museum will inventory, rehouse, and relocate its archaeological and early museum collections. The project will improve the current state of collection preservation, increase intellectual and physical control of the collections, and enable the museum to plan for their future use. Activities include organizing, consolidating, and inventorying the collections in the current facility; rehousing the collection in labeled acid-free, plastic archival boxes; preparing off-site storage space; and relocating the collection. During the project, the museum will hold a symposium to present highlights and findings from the project. Project staff will also author social media posts and articles in the museum's print and online publications. A comprehensive evaluation will document work completed, the number of new collection records in the museum's collection database, data and analytics from an in-house conservation assessment, and the action steps that will be taken to continue preservation efforts.
