Nevada Department of Cultural Affairs (Lost City Museum)

Lost City Museum will work towards its goal of implementing a collections care plan by evaluating current temperature and humidity in storage facilities and galleries, procuring new storage to remedy the lack of space and inconsistent environment for organic materials, and continuing a much needed inventory of the collection. This project is part of the museum's larger collections management goals that include cataloging collection information and entering it into the database, creating a location system, improving environmental conditions, and increasing storage space for objects. Equipment to organize and preserve the condition of the objects will be purchased, including data loggers to record temperature and humidity, and a cabinet that will provide a controlled micro-climate for sensitive organic artifacts.
