Collections Assessment Grant Application Info Session

Collections Assessment Grant Application Info Session

The Collections Assessment Grant Program (CAG) provides small and mid-sized museums with a free assessment of their museum or archive collections. Successful applicants will receive a free half-day site visit from a museum curator or archivist who will examine collections on exhibit and in storage, and review policies and procedures related to collection care and management. Recipients will receive a collection assessment report with a prioritized list of recommendations for improving the care and management of collections. These recommendations are intended to help institutions improve the care of their collections, alert board members to collections care concerns, provide documentation that can support development of a long-range collection/preservation plan, and be used to fundraise for collection projects. 

Join the League for an information session on the Collections Assessment Grant program at 1 p.m. on December 7, 2023, to learn more. This program will be recorded.

Start filling out the Collections Assessment Grant Application.

Application deadline is January 5, 2024.
