Breaking News!!!! Conservation Grant Awarded |

OMAM AWARDED FEDERAL GRANT
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Heritage Preservation are pleased to announce the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens has been awarded a 2003 Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) grant. Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens joins the 2,000 museums that have participated in CAP since the program began in 1990.
CAP assists museums by providing funds for professional conservation and preservation specialists to identify the conservation needs of their collections and historic building conditions. Heritage Preservation’s President, Lawrence L. Reger, praised Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens for “making the vital work of caring for collections and sites a priority at their institution and helping ensure that they are available to present and future generations.”
CAP provides funds for a general conservation survey of the Museum’s collection and historic building. Professional conservators will spend two days surveying the site and three days writing comprehensive reports that will identify conservation priorities. The on-site consultation will enable the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens to evaluate its current collection care policies, procedures and environmental conditions. The assessment reports will help the Museum make appropriate improvements for the immediate, mid-range and long-range care of their collection and historic structure.
"Receiving the IMLS grant will enable a small institution such as ours, to improve and expand its collection, thus serving the needs of our community more efficiently," explains Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens Director, Ann Burt. "It will also help in our efforts to acquire additional work of artists for our collection in a professional manner."
"The Institute of Museum and Library Services is proud of its role in helping museums, both large and small, establish and meet their conservation goals," remarked IMLS Director, Robert S. Martin. Through its conservation grants, IMLS has helped transform conservation practices across the nation.
