Framingham State University (Danforth Art Museum)

The Danforth Art Museum will purchase archival materials to rehouse 2,089 works on paper in the museum's permanent collection and to support a detailed conservation survey of select works as part of a larger program to fully catalog and digitize the collection. Actions to rehouse works on paper from framed to flat storage will immediately improve the preservation of the works. In addition, cataloging and digitizing activities will enhance the collections database and promote the management and intellectual control of the collection. These activities will preserve the works of art and produce tangible products to address a demand for increased accessibility to the collection.
