Museum of African American History

The Museum of African American History will continue to improve collections management procedures and stabilize its collection, while fostering continued institutional growth through a more comprehensive understanding of its holdings. The museum will work with consultants to catalogue, complete data entry, and otherwise manage the collections at its primary storage location, containing over 85 percent of the collections. Museum staff and interns will reconcile the resulting inventory and complete a final draft of institutional accession and deaccession policies. Museum staff will select and train two interns from local universities to assist with this work. Project activities will include the purchase of software, hardware, and materials and supplies to support the proper handling, storage, and cataloging of the objects and artifacts.
