Purchase and installation of compact cabinetry and fixtures for collections storage at the valentine museum [the capital project we present to the NEH will support the purchase, installation and related costs for compact storage cabinetry and fixtures in our main museum building. This is a $1,635,044 project and is a crucial component of a larger $16 million capital campaign, the valentine moment campaign, that reflects a rigorous strategic planning process. The overall collections storage initiative will create storage facilities that provide optimal conditions for the longevity of the objects in our care and will allow for safe and efficient access for exhibition and research use. The investment in compact storage furniture will improve environmental conditions and reflects the valentine?s commitment to the proper care and preservation of our holdings, using current best practices and techniques. ]
