The National Museum of Forest Service History received a $687,340 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929) to install critical infrastructure and environmental controls to preserve its 50,000-item collection. The grant will fund the installation of a new HVAC system, microclimate generators, fire detection/suppression, security/surveillance, and a high-density storage system in the museum's new National Conservation Legacy Center facility. This will significantly improve storage conditions and long-term preservation for the museum's artifacts, documents, and other historical materials related to the history of the U.S. Forest Service. The project will be implemented from October 2024 through January 2026.
