About this award
The Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded Idaho State University $1,169,572 on September 1, 2026, under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) to complete Phase Two of an ongoing project improving the care and preservation of the Ray J. Davis Herbarium at the Idaho Museum of Natural History.
The museum will contract with an external vendor to purchase, ship, and install a high-density mobile storage system and new cabinets and worktops in newly created space to house over 82,500 plant and lichen specimens. Museum staff will move the collections into the new space, which will enhance preservation of the delicate specimens, increase herbarium storage space by almost 20 percent, and open additional gallery space for exhibitions due to the relocation.
Performance takes place in Pocatello, Idaho through August 31, 2028.
