HISTORIC SARANAC LAKE WILL CREATE CATALOG RECORDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2,500 OBJECTS AND ARCHIVAL MATERIALS TO GAIN INTELLECTUAL AND PHYSICAL CONTROL OVER ITS COLLECTION. INFORMED BY A PREVIOUS IMLS-FUNDED PILOT PROJECT TO CATALOG RECORDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2,000 PHOTOGRAPHS AND POSTCARDS FROM THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS, THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO INCLUDE PHOTO DOCUMENTATION OF OBJECTS AND THE CREATION OF A PLAN FOR MOVING THE COLLECTION TO A NEW STORAGE SPACE. PROJECT STAFF WILL WORK WITH A CONSULTANT TO COMPLETE AND EVALUATE THE PROJECT. AS A RESULT OF THE PROJECT, THE INSTITUTION WILL PRODUCE A COMPREHENSIVE MOVING PLAN FOR THE COLLECTION, PUBLISH CATALOG RECORDS AND IMAGES, AND INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO THE COLLECTION. THE PROJECT WILL BENEFIT STUDENTS, RESEARCHERS, AND STAFF PREPARING FOR EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS.
