MOBILE ART STORAGE RACKS

HALEAKALĀ NATIONAL PARK MUSEUM

at Haleakalā National Park, Kula, Maui, Hawaiʻi

1.0 BACKGROUND

Haleakalā National Park (HALE) is located on the east side of the Island of Maui and was established as the Haleakalā Section of Hawaiʻi National Park in 1916. The park was separated from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and re-designated as Haleakalā National Park in 1961. The park encompasses over 33,000 acres and extends from the 10,023 foot (3055m) summit of Haleakalā down the southeast flank of the mountain to the Kīpahulu coast near Hāna. The Summit District and the Kīpahulu District of the park are not directly connected by road, but both can be reached from Kahului.

This project will allow for the purchase of mobile art storage racks for the preservation of the Haleakala National Park (HALE) Museum art collection, which is located within the Summit District of the park. This project will be meet professional preservation standards for art storage.

Currently the park is using in-house built wooden storage rack system. The wooden storage rack system was built as a temporary measure and is vulnerable to pest infestation. There is also no way of easily sliding the artwork in and out of the storage rack system, which is needed during tours of the museum facility and to perform periodic condition assessments, conservation treatments, and annual inventory on the art collection. The park would like to purchase an art storage rack system that is metal and that will allow efficient use of space and best practice storage standards for artwork.

The HALE Art collection is significant to the history of the park and its interpretive themes and is considered in our 2015 Foundation Document to be worthy of preservation (one of our fundamental resources and values).

The HALE Cultural Resources Management (CRM) program offers monthly tours of the museum collection, including showing a piece of art from the art collection. The HALE Museum art collection is also periodically on temporary display for visitor enjoyment. Therefore, the resource is a key component in the park’s visitor contact or interpretive program.

The HALE art collection is potentially vulnerable to insect damage due to being stored in a shelving system constructed of treated lumber, rather than more insect-proof materials such as stainless steel and aluminum.

This project will fulfill the policy detailed in NPS Management Policies 2006 regarding museum collections:

5.3.5.5 Museum Collections

The Service will collect, protect, preserve, provide access to, and use objects, specimens, and archival and manuscript collections (henceforth referred to collectively as “collections,” or individually as “items”) in the disciplines of archeology, ethnography, history, biology, geology, and paleontology to aid understanding among park visitors, and to advance knowledge in the humanities and sciences. As appropriate, the Service will consult with culturally affiliated or traditionally associated peoples before treating or reproducing items in NPS collections that are subject to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. (Also see Museum Handbook).”
