The Livingston County Historical Society, operating as the Livingston County Historical Society Museum, received a $299,836 Save America's Treasures grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (CFDA 15.929) to improve the storage of approximately 30,000 historical artifacts related to indigenous people and the post-colonial Finger Lakes region. Project activities include purchasing and installing new collections storage equipment, environmental controls, security, and fire prevention measures. This work builds on a detailed assessment of storage needs and will be carried out with the guidance of interdisciplinary experts to ensure proper preservation of the museum's collections. The rehoused materials will facilitate future exhibits and allow the museum to better rotate and preserve objects from their collection.
