The McLean County Historical Society received a $145,937 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Museums for America (MFA) program. The grant will support efforts to improve the organization's art collection storage and increase cataloged information for its objects. Key activities include purchasing compact storage equipment, temporarily relocating objects, and training interns to inventory, photograph, and rehouse the collection. The project will preserve the art collection in a climate-controlled environment and enable the museum staff to better manage and care for the holdings. As a result, more information about the collection will be made publicly accessible through the organization's online portal. The award period is from September 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026.
