Phase 9: developing storage space and housing for humanities collections [the L.C. Bates museum?s project goal is to improve collections care and preservation by completing phase 9 of developing storage space and housing for humanities collections in the museum?s new second floor NW storage space. The collections are relevant to the national history of childcare and its study as exemplified by good will-hinckley homes, cultural history, or maine history. This storage project, a prioritized collections care goal of the museum?s 2022-2026 strategic plan, follows the recommendations of our 2008 RE-cap, 2012 map collections stewardship, 2019 map follow-up, and RON harvey?s 2000 collection survey and 2010-22 climate monitoring reports. The project will continue to turn an unused space on the second floor into an appropriate long-term storage space for humanities objects. (edited by staff)]
