OAK hill cemetery archive [funds will advance the professionalization of collections care in the newly established OAK hill cemetery archive (OHCA)

IT will support efforts to rehouse fragile documents, maps, photographs and objects through the purchase of storage solutions, equipment and related supplies, as well as engaging the services of an external conservation expert to begin acting on recommendations from the collections assessment for preservation (cap) report developed for the organization in 2023. As the cap report details, the primary documents, photographs and unique items in OAK hill?S collections are a high priority for improved storage. Flat file cabinets, environmental data loggers, cleaning and handling specialty items, and archival enclosures specifically designed to house oversized and particularly fragile materials, including blueprints, maps, photos, and artwork, will allow OHCA to take a significant step forward in improving preservation and access to our long under-resourced collection.]
