City of Jacksonville

The Ritz Theatre and Museum, operated by the City of Jacksonville, will use grant funds to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and expertise of current staff in collection care and management. The museum will hire a collections care consultant to train museum staff to conduct a collection inventory and implement proper storage of the museum's collection based on best practices. In addition to training, museum staff will also enroll in courses or workshops on collection care and management. The project will include a standard operating procedures manual for current and future museum staff and to lay the groundwork for creating an accessible archive for public use.
