Nebraska State Historical Society

The Nebraska State Historical Society will improve the management and care of its Furniture and Large Artifact Collection, which documents the work and home life of Nebraskans and ways in which changes in technology and industry directly affected the state's people. Project activities include purchasing and installing a mobile storage unit; completing a conservation survey to help determine condition and future treatment priorities; minor cleaning; creating custom dust covers; and broadening access to photo and catalog records through the museum's online database. Project success will be defined as increasing the efficiency of the storage space, improving storage conditions for furniture and large artifacts, improving documentation of collections, and increasing public access to artifact information.
